gixxer trouble...

driving home, the digital gauges disappeared, but the orange backlight stayed on. One of my headlights burned out earlier this week from a bike wash and when i got home tonight, the outside of the headlight housing was smoking. Any idea where to start poking at ?

Re: gixxer trouble...

Do the obvious: start checking for corroded connections....loose connections....exposed wires shorting out....if you lost something due to water...my geuss is something is loose and shorting to ground ....
