Hey guys noticed y tach light is out. i checked inside the headlight bucket for bad connections and replaced the bulbs but no go. All the bulbs are not working in the tach, everything else on the bike works good. Would this be a ground problem and where would be a good place to look for problems? Thanks for any help.

I would check for power with a test light.. check for power if you have power reverse the testlight wire to power and check for ground.. If still no go I'd trace the wires back to see where the problem leads.. can't be much.. Smiley

Make sure the bulb that you put in, even though new, is a good bulb. I ordered some from Z-1 and about half of them were no good. I'm not in any way implying that they are sending our bad bulbs...it's a long trip from Z-1 in New York to North Western Nevada and those Postal people, well you know they go postal quite a bit!  Roll Eyes
