Q: When you turn on the key does the speedo needle sweep? If not start looking for bad connections at the meter.
Thanks tink. I have forwarded this to my mechanic. I'll post if this leads him in the right direction or not.

Unforutnately it will be pretty obvious that someone worked on it. The bike was pretty much a wreck and while they were putting it back together I had them change some things, like a new exhaust and handlebars.
This dealer will work on it. I think they were just warning me that it may take a while for them to figure out the problem because they may have to reverse engineer what the other mechanic did. I think when he told me that he didn't realize that it wasn't just my buddy down the street working on it, but it was a reputable bike shop.
Hopefully tink's suggestion will work, or someone else will respond if it doesn't, or the dealer will be able to resolve the problem once I get it to them. The other issue is that my appointment with the dealer isn't for 2 weeks. I live in Northern Virginia and good riding weather around here is a precious commodity. Today would have been a perfect day to take her out. Bummer.
