Ya I'll see if I can scan the diagram and post it. Checked fuses already and replaced one that looked a little beat. I think the bike only has 3 fuses which doesn't sound like much though so not sure if I'm missing something obvious or what. In Seattle/Tacoma area so kind of isolated out here and not as many motorcycle guys as there is in other drier parts. Anyway ill post a diagram thanks so far for responses. This thing is gonna provide many more sleepless nights till I figure it out! :)
