Next step if your still stuck is to check as someone suggested your connections.
Remember the biggest area for connections is behind the headlight.
Also pull your tank and look for any places that wiring may have rubbed through especially if you find a popped fuse.
A lot of wear is also caused by the 30+ years of handle bar movement and the strain on the harness so broken wires can occur there over time.
I'll bet you find a popped fuse!
Good luck and let us know!
So the old Rocker gets out his bike to make a ton before he takes his leave. Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be. And as he flies --- tears in his eyes ---
his wind-whipped words echo the final take and he hits the trunk road doing around 120 with no room left to brake.

Turned the handle bars fully left and right new fuse still good. When I get more time I will remove tank and headlight to check all wiring. Also the plastic black fuse box doesn't seem very user friendly, does anyone else agree with me or understand how to get into it? It is surrounded by 3 unfriendly steel clips, am I missing something as far as ease of getting into?

It sounds like a previous owner messed with it. To my knowledge it should be the same or very similar to the one on my KZ650-C1 (see image below). The fuse case just slips onto a tab on the bracket; no muss / no fuss, and it just snaps shut. It has no clips of any kind involved. Can you post a picture of yours? Ed
