Can anyone help , please ? !
Motoring along a dual carriageway in the dry I noticed the speedo and rev counter are reading zero ! Fuel guage and mileometer have also gone . I stopped to have a look and the headlight had also gone off . The headlight fuse had gone and when I replaced it , the light came back on. However , the instrument panel fuse is intact but - still not working .
It's an F2 and has done 8k miles . Six months ago the lights and panel both fused in very heavy rain but this it was completely dry today .
Any thoughts ?

Dead instruments
Mine died yesterday outside a pub, stopped for a fag with a mate, turned the key, click, nothing! 
Checked fuse box, none blown, rear cowl off master fuse OK. Put back together, started. Went in for a coffee, came out nothing. 
Check each fuse 1 by 1, take out, put back in, turn ignition key, systematic elimination. Fuse for Prime, instruments and position light, turn key all systems back on, 
check next fuse, turn key, dead, 
check other fuses still dead, push wiring loom around a bit, all systems go 
Right straight home.
New in March 2004, 3500 miles. Bugger, return to base, let them have a look at it. Strange thing is I am now on my 3rd battery, they keep draining and won't hold charge, even though run on an Optimiser, and no alarm fitted. A fault in the wiring loom me thinks, let the dealer trace it rather than me, something of a black art are electrics.

Slow in, slow out. Ohh err missus, now with added G-Force carbon fibre race cans. Sounds like a Spitfire.
