Title: Instrument cluster Inop?
Post by: AudiFan on July 01, 2011, 05:24:33 AM
Today my bike stalled out, which it seems to do from time to time if i hold in the clutch for an extending period of time.  When i restarted the bike the instrument cluster was non responsive.  Any ideas, fuse maybe?  Luckily this went out about 2 blocks from the end of my commute, but too bad i still have to ride home.

First thing to do would be to check the fuses and the battery.

It should be indicated on the fuse box cover, at least it's that way with mine. If you can't figure out which one's which, just open the box and check them all.

If that doesn't work try unplugging it from the harness (if that's possible) clean the connectors and make sure it's plugged back in tight. Could just be something coming loose.

I would recommend checking your wires and connectors to make sure they're ok. Usually fuses don't blowout without a reason.
