So, if anyone read any of my previous threads I was dealing with an electrical issue. I ended up having a severed ground and I replaced all the defunct wires. The bike is running great, no problems. One weird thing resulted from all this though. When I got the bike my speedo and tach lights didn't work. I figured they burned out and didn't bother replacing them. After I fixed my electrical the speedo light started working for about three days. Then it would randomly turn off, but go back on if I honked my horn. Now it just doesn't work at all. All in all I'm not really concerned, but I wanted to check with the forum and see if this was a sign of another impending electrical failure.
I once had intermitten electrical problem similar to that, i.e., the instrument panel lights and LEDs would go on and off. I found out that it was the connector (the blue one) in the headlight housing that was just old and loose. I fixed it by using a small zip tie to make sure that the connection is tight.
HTH.

The two wires to look at would be the gray and black/white ones in that blue connector. :cheers:

Thanks, John. ;) I'll keep that in mind next time it acts funny again, but so far it has been good for months now. :cheers:
