Hey, folks - I am new to this forum and have a dumb question:
I replaced the battery on my old '95 Kodial 400, but now it's dead - no neutral light, no head/tail lights, no electric start. (but it will pull-start & run)
First poss problem, I checked both fuses at rails under saddle/seat, which appear to be fine.
Are there other fuses in the starter circuit? (Failing that, what to check next?)

I would throw the new battery on a low voltage trickle charger for 6+ hours. Even though it's new, it could be a dead battery.

New battery might show good voltage but still be bad. find someone with a battery load tester and check it. slow trickle charge may help as well like atvreditor said.

OK, I'll try that (check new battery), but it does run the (straight-wired) oil-cooler fan, so it's not dead.
Are there any other fuses, than the 2 under the seat?

Well, it ain't the battery, so unless anybody has any otrher ideas, it's off to the shop (at $70/hr)
