    no lights on speedometer,tachometer,fuel and oil temp. all other lights work fine.

    I would think its a fuse, but the one fuse box i found only had six fuses and they were all good. Its a 83 gs750.
    Thanks for any help

    I would thing you'd want to trace the harnesses back from the cluster . Probably goes either into the headlight or under the tank.

      Check your grounds and connections in the headlight basket, they all end up there.

        Also check the bulbs in the dash cluster, if they are burnt out, 90% chance it is a bad ground.

            Since it seems to be all the lighting for the entire console it would seem almost definate that the problem is with your ground somewhere. The bad news is I don't know the color of the wire since I don't have my diagrams in front of me, the good news is that it is probably a direct connection from the consol to the chasis of the bike, or to the battery.

            Sometimes the chases of the console might even be the ground connection, for example your turn signals only have one wire that is attached (the + or cathode), the metal bolt that connects it to the frame of the bike actually provides the ground circuit. My signal lights stopped working the other day because dirt caused a bad connection.
