Speedo lights should come on when the side and or headlamp are turned on.
I don't know the specifics for your bike, but Honda are known for linking the speedometer backlights to the tail lamp first and not directly to power from the switch, as an indicator of a tail light fault. Does your tail lamp work?
If so, maybe your speedo backlight bulbs are simply blown? ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

Yeah, cascade bulb failure is common with clock backlights. To the point if one goes, you may as well replace them all once you've gone through the rigmarole of getting to them. You can almost garauntee the others will follow soon. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I once started my bike in the night to go for a ride, and turned the headlamp on, after a while the bike itself was acting kinda funny. And then there were no lights, and no ignition. Fuse was blown but additionally both the low and high beam poles in the headlamp bulb has bent towards eachother and were touching. Interestingly weird. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11
