That sounds like you have main power issue, have you checked the fuses, kill cord switch and the earth cable from the rear of the engine to the battery.
The Yamaha manual is worth getting.
Good luck

have you checked the fuses that are found beneath the black engine mounted cover ?
also check the wiring harness where it plugs into the control unit "black box thingy"

down the side of them engine where the control cables are there is a round tube inside it is a 100 amp fuses check, you've probaly blown it, it may be cable tied to the bracket below the turbo
