I am a new Buell Owner, Love my new to me 99 S3T, original owner took loving care and it is great. I have put 1,500 trouble free miles on it here in the Hot Humid Gulf South of New Orleans, Louisiana. Today (Sunday the 12th) I went on a 250 mile run to Grand Isle and back in 90-95 degree heat and sun. Everything was working as it should.

at about mile 200, in between checking the dash and signaling a lane change, my dash went dead. Bike ran as before; perfect, but the speedometer was dead, the odometer was blank (no power), the turn signals, horn, tail light, and brake lights all did not respond. I rode the last 50 miles home without incident, but I am stymied. How are all these systems intertwined? It feels electrical in nature, but why this odd combo of systems, are they carried on a common bus or breaker? Thanks for the experience, and all theories will be taken seriously.

Thanks,

Joe, check my reply in the troubleshooting area. You do have the factory service manual, I hope. The wiring diagram is in small print, but invaluable. You are looking (I believe) for a problem associated with the acc fuse and the appliances it serves. Dave
