had a strange problem while riding today , after about 10 miles the speedometer , tach , radio and turn signals stopped working , bike ran fine and everything else working fine, after about 50 more miles , suddenly both turn signal indicators flashed and everything started working and worked fine for a couple more hours until i got home . when the odometer came back on it hadnt been registering any miles

turned bike off and cranked several times after i got home , everything works fine ,

any ideas?

thanks in advance

 

Happened to me , ended up with a new stator, and regulator.

 

check the wiring under the rear fender --- make sure its still intact

 

Loose/dirty battery connections

 

Loose connection somewhere? Where, I have no clue.

 

Had a 93 model that used to do the same thing. Everything would go out except the stop light and engine. All gauges, indicators, headlight, dash lights. Then come back on when it felt ready. Scary on a dark night! Chased it for months then one day sat down with the wiring diagram and a magnifying lens. Found the only common component to all these things was a relay under the seat. Older model than yours but maybe something similar.

 

Seems to me it's a loose wire, or a dirty connection somewhere...I would start with the battery and work around the bike. I was having a similar problem, found a rubbed wire in the fairing. I ended up zip tying and taping a lot of wires under the outter fairing that looked either not secured or routed in a spot that they would rub on something. Yours sounds like a bad connection if your not blowing fuses, it's most likely not a short. Just my opinion...Hope this helps!

 

I had a very similar issue with my 06 Ultra a few weeks ago, lose the radio, tach, console lights for cruise, spots etc and running lights. It turned out there was a wiring harness running over the top of the radio and running down the side of the cooling fins for the radio that had rubbed into the harnes and 4 wires exposed. Wrapped them up good and zip tied the harness out of the way with no further issues. Good luck.

 

1st, get a shop manual, 2nd, read said manual, 3rd, read wiring schematics and find the common wires. They is absolutely no sense in randomly checking wires without knowing what they are and what they do. Good luck.

 

Any update???
