Thanks for the advice and the welcome! I figured it out early this morning. Also, regarding the speedo, the needle was stuck under the "resting" pin. I had to dismantle the plastics around the nose to get to the instrument cluster. From there, I dissasembled the cluster and free'd up the speedo needle. I had called a local dealer, but got the warranty run around as this bike is a two year old "new" leftover. Regardless, they had a five day waiting period for "paying" customers. All is well in the end. Just need to find some matching flat paint for the scuff at the bottom. It was never laid down, just abrasion from cardboard boxes laying on the bike while it was shipped to me.
