Hello all,
I need help.   My electrical power is out on my speedometer and  tach cluster which includes the actual tachometer, oil light, kickstand light, and my temp light.  My tailight and my neutral light is also out.  I have checked the harness connections and the fuses but can't find the issue.  I'm hoping this is a simple fix but I am not that technical.  Could I be checking the wrong fuses.  I'm checking the fuses on the right side of the bike under the seat.  Is there any place else or other fuses I need to check.  
Thanks for your help as I finally got a nice day to ride here in PA and ran into this issue.   Sad Sad Sad

Hi darryl
            Everything on your list is powered up by the tail/meter fuse.If the fuse is good and powered up check the connectors in the headlamp shell.

Bentwrench, thanks for your help.  Even though the fuse tail meter fuse did not seem shot, once I changed it the lights came back on. 

Your advise is very much appreciated

In the future you might want to check the continuity of the fuse to see if it's open.?

If your fuse is good. On the back of the instrument cluster is a large plug   Try unplugging the plug and clean and replug it and see if things start working. Good luck
