Start tracing wires. Depends on your bike and where they are but check to see if a plug came unplugged or rattled loose. Most wires & plugs are under the tank and near the neck but info on your bike would be helpful too. Could be something in your cluster as well.

It really helps to know what your ride is.

If it was a power going to ground issue you would most likely blow a fuse. Since it is multiple circuits at once I would check the main 40 amp fuse. Don't just use a fuse tester. Take it out and visually inspect the fuse.

All those things are on separate circuits so fuses are probably not the issue. I would check the main wire harness connectors. They may have pulled apart. Also, don't forget to check the connector that plugs into the speedometer.
