Default Ignition trouble

When I turn the ignition on I get the oil light and the Neutral light. I don't get anything with the gauges. I haven't had time to get into it, just wondering if anyone has an idea. Im gonna check fuses this weekend.


Thanks, Jeremy

Checking fuses is an excellent start. Usually after dozens of guesses and suggestions the most important information is finally revealed. What has been done to the bike in the last few weeks, even if it seems unrelated to the electrical system. New grips, changed light bulb, removed fairing to adjust steering. A re-check of all electrical connectors involved in some minor job usually reveals the problem.
