On the way to work this morning the entire gauge cluster went out as well as the turn signals. I still have power to the headlights. Any ideas? Haven't looked over anything yet but might it just be a fuse? Speedo, RPM, all indicator lights, etc. are none functional as well as the turn signals being out (so it's not limited to just the cluster). | ||

From what I've seen it could be the voltage regulator, I guess they can be prone to failure...One of the guys who knows more will probably chip in...But do a search for that and see what you come up with. | ||

Damn. Looking at some of those posts and it does sound the same. A lot of guys were mentioning they lost the gauge cluster and then lost power completely 2 miles down the road. Now I'm stuck at work worried about driving it home.  | ||

OK. Just ran out and checked the fuses. The ACC fuse was burnt out (thank you Buell for including spares). Cluster functioned as soon as I replaced the fuse. Worried though based on all the posts that came up in the search of voltage regulator problems, especially since my batter was completely dead a few weeks ago and I just replaced it two weekends ago (although I think the reason the battery died was because I had the fork in the lock position and went a tad too far and engaged the rear brake light........why do they even have that?). | ||

The ignition was turned forward? I've pondered that myself. Who knows? Go to your nearest auto store and grab a few spares just to get you home. I forgot how they diagnose the regulator vs a short in a wire though did you find anything on that? | ||

I found the testing procedure so will run through that when I get home. | ||

I think the "park light" is a euro thing |
