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.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

First thing to do would be to check the fuses and the battery.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

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.
