OK, been here already. I believe it was a loose ground from battery to frame/engine. Good Luck.

SOURCE: How do you check the oil in a 2003 yamaha roadstar

all bike are to be checked in the upright position! then find out how much the bike takes from your manual if you dont have a manual ...do the following ..when you just change oil and not filter you will be adding less oil,"almost" all bikes take @ 3 quarts oil minimum, so what i do to be safe!! is always after draining is put in two quarts no problem, but with the third bottle i only pour in half.. drop oil cap back on and start the bike and let it run for a minute, the turn it back off, then check oil level, if it doesn't register anything on the stick or sight glass then your o.k. to add the rest. now take a reading, and only fill to almost full, i always under fill my bikes, because over filling will cause damage to internal bearing by the air bubbles from the splashing of the crank in the oil pan. Same as cars.
If you found this helpful can i get a rating?
Thanks

View the service manual at this URL : http://www.scribd.com/doc/17625151/servicemanual1602082008 : and scroll down to printed page 3-62 or electronic page 120.

Copying from that page:
1. Turn the main [ignition] switch to "ON".
2. Press both left and right buttons simultaneously [i.e., the 2 buttons below the speedometer glass] until both hours and minutes flash
3. Push the left [mode] button and the hour display will flash
4. Push the right [right] button to change the hours.

The first thing you can do is check the fuses, the fuse box is either under the seat or behind the cover on the left side as you are sitting on the bike, if all is good then remove the speedo cluster and connect it to your battery directly, Here is the procedure from the manual

CHECKING THE LEDs

The following procedure applies to all of

the LEDs.

1. Check:

LED (for proper operation)

a. Disconnect the meter assembly coupler

(meter assembly side).

b. Connect two jumper leads 1 from the

battery terminals to the respective coupler

terminals as shown.

WAWRNARINNGING

• A wire that is used as a jumper lead must

have at least the same capacity of the

battery lead, otherwise the jumper lead

may burn.

• This check is likely to produce sparks,

therefore make sure that no flammable

gas or fluid is in the vicinity.

c. When the jumper leads are connected to

the terminals the respective LED should

illuminate.

Does not light ® Replace the meter

assembly.

This will tell you if it is the meter, If the meter is good then you will need to follow the wires connected to it till you find the problem. I hope this is a big help to you.
