Speed sensor. It's by the dipstick. Check for iron "fuzz". The IC calculates gear from speed and rpm; lose either the VSS or KPS and no gear indicated. |

> fuses dont blow for no reason do they No, but the reason might not be electrical. I've learned to replace my fuses a couple of times a season. I've had a couple fail from the mechanical violence this bike and Texas tracks put on things... |

Check your wires at the horn. One might be rubbing on the bracket and shorting. Had this happen on mine. |

I had the same thing happen to mine recently, turned out the wires going into the tail light chaffed through on the sub frame behind the rear seat latch. |
