The speedo uses the same fuse as the starter button, so eliminate a fuse error if the bike turns over. I opened up the speedo and disconnected the wires the other day after tracing the short to there. I then ran out of time and am contemplating a little journey later on to trace it further. The speedo powers up the neutral and oil lights as well as the ground points for the five indicator lights on the lower handlebar.
So now I'm faced with a short in the speedo or beyond that to the five indicators.
We are expecting severe weather this evening but I may attempt a road trip.
Good luck with yours.
Fri, 5/31: Found out today the bold info above is wrong. The wires come from the same harness, but branch off before the speedo. So now I have start, ignition and all lights. Just no speedometer/odometer. I'm going to try to disconnect the ignition wire that goes into the speedo and see what happens. Could've sold it today if it wasn't for that little problem.
