I was riding today even though its only 40 and there is still snow on the ground...and when i went to turn it on the speedo didn't work, the rear blinkers and head and tail lights work, it starts fine, but the speedo doesn't give me the odometer read out or tell me what speed im going it also doesn't tell me if im in neutral....but it does give me lights for the brights and turn, allso my front turn signels no longer work...im not sure were to start and would like your guys thoughts. thanks

Two things happening at once, the front signals - sounds like a short in the wiring - must be because the rear work.
The second thing is the dead speedo sensor - replace.

No you only need to replace the speedo sensor.

If the back signal lights work, then you have a short in your wiring or flasher.

so replacing the speedo sensor will make the back light led and odometer reading come back to along with the neutral light on speedo?

No, what EZ is telling you is that the sensor should fix the speedometer and odometer. The other issues are likely due to a short in your wiring somewhere. Good luck fixing her. I hope to have mine back up this weekend.
