    I was riding the other night when my headlight and gauges started to flicker. Now, the next morning, neither the headlight or gauges light up at all. Could it be one of the fuses? If so does anybody have a diagram of the fuses? Thanks for the help!

    Might be your relay. It sits under the rec/reg. Pop it off and jump the blue/black wire to the red/yellow wire. If your lights come on the relay is shot. You can run it like this, I am while waiting for a new relay. It does put more load on the battery when starting though.
