If everthing else runs/works fine it's probably just a blown fuse. Pull your side covers and take a look. All the fuses are real easy to get to. If not blow, just give them all a wiggle to reseat then try again. If it is blow, then the question becomes, what caused it to blow...trace the wires looking for a pinch or chaffing short. Odds are that it's something simple.

The fuses are behind the left side cover - remove the left bag to get to them. There is a fuse that runs the guages, etc. Mine blew when I got rain in the cig lighter. This one won't keep it from running. Jwillie - I'm in Fredericksburg, VA. If you have too much of a rough time with it, we can meet somewhere on it.

Have you checked inside the front fairing? Also a good place for mice.

yeah took the fairing off and it was a mess the previous owner had left wires lose and there were a few pinched. i straightend everything out rewraped the wires and zip tied it all back up. since it was blowing the fuses only when starting i also removed and cleaned the contacts on the voltage regulator. took it for a ride yesterday maybe 20 miles and the gauges were still working.
