Default Instrument Pannel Dead!!!!

I rode my bike to work this morning and when i got down the roda from my house i noticed That my spedometer and tach and pretty much everything was out except for the clock! When i got on i know it was working because i was waiting for the temperature and it was working fine. I found that the fuse was blown so i replaced it but it keeps blowing whenever i turn the ignition on. Is this just a short? I havnt had time to dissasemble anything. Thanks

Try to check the wires to see if they are touching anywhere. Have you changed anything recently? To you havea integrator on turnsignals? I know that i was messing with mine on day and it keep blowing the fuse.

I had that happen to mine when I was doing some work on it. It turned out to be a blown fuse.

dude I had the same thing happen to mine when I purchased it used. I had to take of the whole front fairing then take apart the whole instrument cluster. There are computer looking connections that everything plugs into in the back. Took about 1 hour to unbolt everything. Take your time taking it apart and putting it back together. Was a lose connection. Plugged it back in. Saved a couple 100 in labor
