Heck - if somebody has an inexpensive one I'd just paint it. Right now the one that's on there is so busted up I just need a cover.

Jumping the brown/white to brown or to a good frame ground bypassed the speedo ground and sometimes helped restore awd also. Ground shouldn't have gone through it to begin with for the awd.The one you probably looked at was from the awd connector browns to a common ground. Long thin wires that could loose ground and this was a good fix. Hope you can get the speedo fixed and save some $$ also.

Might as well do the main grounding from the two connectors down. Also double check that the speedo connector pins and wires are secure.You can unsnap it to check.

I'll sure do it. I'll try to get into it tomorrow night.

Found out the brake reservoir is cracked on the left handlebar, so I'll be ordering one of them. Might as well change out the pads all around at the same time. Is there a good video anywhere to show a good bleeding technique? I've read where it's probably not a one man job.

And I sure appreciate your quick answers for this rookie. It helps a LOT to have somebody like you walking me through this stuff.

Several videos on brake bleeding. From manually to vacuum bleeding.

Well, now of course the screws in the master cylinder lever look to be stripped... So I guess I better order a doggone master cylinder. Cheapest new one I see is $153 at Partzilla.

Is something like this worth wasting money on or is it junk?:

A lot of Chinese made master cylinders on ebay that would work no matter what model they referenced as all had 3/4" bars. Wouldn't doubt that a lot of major brands are using Chinese master cylinders now anyway.Polaris master cylinder | eBay Or if it's just the reservoir that's bad you can buy the reservoir kit for 42 bucks.
