Hi there, my first post here and sorry that I am looking for a little guidance.
My bike is 5 years old, but is truly a fair weather ride and as a consequense the bike is "new" with less than 1,000 miles. Until last night everything had been flawless until the speedo started displaying randomly and the indicators started to play up. Then this morning no indicators at all and the speedo "dead." Checking fuses, a 5A fuse had blown and I thought it was a simple fix. Nevertheless, 3 replacements later, they keep blowing. Reading around it seems that it is quite likely the speedo/tacho has given up completely and needs replacing? To my horror, they seem to cost €600 / $750, which is outragous if that is the case.
Has anyone had a similar issue? Was the outcome a new speedo? Are there any alternates, i.e. known repairs etc?
