    Dropped bike: now headlight and spd/tac lights don't work ?

    I was parking, driving very slow, when i accidently dropped the bike very slowly to the ground (it fell to the right if you're sitting on it) http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum.../eusa_wall.gif. Doesn't look like any physical damage has happened, but now the headlight and lights that illuminate the speedometer and tacometer don't work. Checked fuses, connections, bulb (headlight), all good. Blinkers (actual and indicators), breaklight, and 1-2-3-4-5-6 gear/nuetral lights DO work. Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Well if the fuses, connections and bulbs are all good, that doesn't leave you many logical alternatives...

    It's time to get out a multimeter and systematically check the circuitry to help isolate the problem.

    I take it the bike still runs OK?

      check the harness plug under the fuel tank.

        fixed

        thanks for your replies...
        i double checked fuses and removed gas tank to check connections there... all good. then, just for fun, i replaced the headlight fuse even though the fuse looked good and it fixed it. I guess even though the fuse looked good, something was wrong with it.

        Thanks,
