I started my Stelvio NTX for the first time in a few weeks today. It's been on a battery tender and started right up, but then it abruptly shut down. I think that happened when I raised the sidestand, but am not certain of that. Now when I turn the key on I can hear the fuel pump charging, but there's no sign of life on the dash, other than a flashing triangle at the right-top of the instruments (which continues even with the key off). I haven't checked anything yet---battery, fuses---is this a known issue?

You answered your own question. Yes, check the battery and fuses. How do you think some one on a forum can diagnose anything without information?
OK, I disconnected the battery for a while, and reconnected. No change. I installed a new fully-charged AGM battery, no change. The two main fuses by the battery looked OK, but I replaced them anyway. No change. I then realized that the GuzziDiag setup I had used on my Griso and Eldorado should work on the Stelvio! So I hooked up my laptop. No faults were registered. Under "Status" the "Sidestand" indicator would switch from "in" to "out" when I moved the sidestand. Likewise the clutch would move from "released" to "pulled", the "killswitch" would cycle from "inactive" to "active" as I switched it, and the "gear" would switch from "neutral" to "shifted" as I fiddled the shift lever. So I have to assume that all those switches are functional, right? The status also reported "Tipp Over Inactive", which, aside from the spelling, sounds good to me. Then there was the one Status message "Start Impossible". That's not such a helpful or optimistic bit of info, eh?
Take a look at the fuse holders. They have been known to fail. Check to see if power goes to both sides with the key on.
Well, I'm extremely pleased, and a bit embarrassed, to say that the issue is resolved. From the pic in the
service manual, I thought the fuse block was under the right-side fairing. So as I disassembled things, I separated every electrical connection and sprayed it with contact cleaner, and on and on. No fuse block under the right fairing, so on to the left fairing, and more contact cleaning. And then, hallelujah, I spotted the main fuse block by the steering head (in rather plain sight, if you're looking there). The fuse 2nd from the front was blown. Replaced it, and voila! All is well

Glad you found it.
What does that fuse protect? You have to wonder why did it blow.
