Went out to ride my 04 Warrior last night. Turned the key and it started great as usual, but no lights and no gauges. I shut it off tried it again a couple more times, and still no lights and no gauges. Checked all the fuses, all fine, checked all conectors all tight. Got up this morning to take it to the local dealership, and it started fine and all lights and gauges worked fine ?????? I called our local Yamaha dealership and they have no clue, and have never seen it before. Has anyone else seen this? I don't want to get stranded some night. Thanks

I've had that happen once or twice on my 04 Warrior. Not sure about the lights, but the LCD wouldn't work. If I recall it was VERY cold at the time. I just restarted it and everything lit up OK. Never had it happen repeatedly though. Is it possible you've got a loose wire or connection? :|

No worries, this is normal when cold no HL no gauges till warmed-up. Check out the RS forum and you'll see more info. 
Just let the sled warm up alittle longer. Never takes more than a minute or so.

Play it safe and get one of those Doo helmets that attaches a flash light to the side 8)
Just kidding. Seems to me I read about this happening a few times and all was fine after they let them run for a while.

Could be a loose ground wire from the battery to the frame.

The sled keeps track of everything thru the computer. Too keep the headlights on while starting the motor would draw down the battery too much, so the computer keeps all the accessories off until the motor is running and it senses that you have more than just 12.5 volts which the battery alone provides. Once the engine gets started, and supplies perhaps 14 volts, then the computer wakes up the accessories including the dash instruments lights etc.
Now I am guess here, but I would think that the computer is not going to handle the circuit load of the lights, so it would direct some sort of relay to do that once the relay gets some source of 12 volt.
So I would look for a relay that is slow to react, or is sticking.
