THE HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND HORN ALL FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE BIKE IS NOW COMPLETELY SILENT AND HAS NO ABILITY TO LIGHT UP OR BLOW THE HORN. THIS CONDITION MAKES THE BIKE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO RIDE ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED IN BETWEEN RIDES. ALL THE SYSTEMS WORKED ONE DAY AND FAILED THE NEXT DAY. THESE SYSTEMS ARE ON TWO SEPARATE FUSES AND THEY ARE IN FINE SHAPE.
