I just got this sled and dont know a hole lot about it. Yesterday everything was working fine. Today head light and gauge lights work but thats it. All lights work but temp and fuel needles dont. Any pointers on where to start looking?

Also the hand warmers work. I did see a melted wire but it didnt melt through. How do I check for power or ground?

check to see if anything is unplugged. jiggle the wires to see if theycome on you might also have a wire that isbare and got grounded somewhere

If it shorted out does it blow any fuses? I did see a wire got burnt from the muffler.

No fuses. CCheck your wiring more closely. Sounds like they are touching together, etc.

OK got it almost fixed. It was a fuse + I had the wire harness plugged upside down. The only thig left is the speedometer. The light works but the needle dont. How to I check it? On the back of the gauge it has two spots for the cable. Why 2?

dont know why 2 but id check where it connects to the jack shaft right behind ur secondary

What's the jack shaft?

Ok now today everything in the dash went dead today. Any help will be great.

You obviously have awiring problem. If it blew a fuse like you said above, then something is shorted. The speedo has 2 holes- one for MPH and one for KMH.

I unplugged the speedo and road the sled around. The cable isn't turning. So it's something in the motor? Is it an easy fix?

 

[smallengineguy]

The speedo drive is probably broken, follow the cable back and you'll see where it is.
