No lights on dash, tail or brakes
When I first went out, I knew the speedometer didn't work, but just used the tach. By the time I was headed home, it was getting dark out. I had no brake tail or dash lights to see what was going on. The turn signals and head lights worked but that is it .All the fuses were good in the fuse block. I'm not very good at reading schematics but will look . Any ideas what I missed?

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine on his 2004 zx12. I had the head light go out on my 2001 zx9 and everything else worked. I traced that back to the voltage regulator replaced it and back on the road that was five years ago still going.

I found two fuses blown. I originally checked by pulling the cover and pulling them out with my fingers. Them big stubs must have covered the break. Taillight and horn fuses blew.Found them when I rechecked using needle nose pliers. That would mean the air shifter wouldn't work also. I have no idea what cause them to blow but will ride the bike some more to see if it replicates the problem again.

Yeppers! Blew the fuse on the way home at night. The taillight fuse is the one that keeps going. It knocks out the rear light, speedometer and gauge lights. The last fuse lasted a day and a half. Seems like a lot of guys are having the electric blues on this sight.

My tail light fuse kept blowing on 2000 and it was the air valve on my shifter that was going bad. Changed that and problem solved. I dont know if you have a shifter on yours or not.

Yes I do have a shifter but am not sure where I picked up the power. If I remember correctly, the usb power commander is tapped off the brake line.
