Well guys, you are the 600c experts and I need some help.

I posted last year about a 600c I got for free:

Anyway, the guy who gave it to me came by a few weeks ago so we went out, me on my Concours 14 and him on his old 600c. He made it about 3 miles in his shorts and flip flops (yes really) until he ditched the bike around a tight curve. Minor cosmetic damage, luckily no bodily injury to him since he landed in soft sand / bushes.

However, now the tach, neutral light, temp and fuel gauges don't work. Bike still rides fine, I just took it out for the first time since he dumped it on me tonight, just the above mentioned things are not working. Speedo, turn indicators, and hi beam indicator work fine, as well as the dash backlighting.

I checked the fuses in the junction box under the seat, all 4 are fine. Anywhere else I should start looking?

Thanks!
