Loose or corroded connection on the back of the guage.

Mine will take some time to show any display when it is very cold out. About 1 min before any lights or anything came on when it was -25 the other day.

 

[pat the rat]

thats weird cause ive started it many times in -25,-30 and never did this

Normal for Rx1's and Warrior's when quite cold out.

i have 10 000 miles on it and its the first time this happens

 

[culvert]

maybe it is just loose or corroded connection. that many miles and no troubles.
Mine only stays blank when it is very cold out, as my shop is not heated yet.

Never had a delay in mine, and I started several times in - 45 degree temps. You may want to check the connection. If it is clean and solid, then there is a temp sensitive component in the gage. It will most-likely eventually fail completely. If it is still on warranty, you may want to get the gage replaced.

ouch,dont want to know the price of that one

took the warrior to work today,when i started it at night,no pod and no headlights,hope its not going on the bum,couple min after everything came on,is there a fix for this

Loose connector at the back of the CDI ("speedo")? May was to take it off and use some contact cleaner on it. Otherwise, just wiggle it a bit ant try to reseat it firmly in the meter.

Both my sleds won't tach right at the start, esp. when extremely cold. Once it gets to a certain rpm it will all go. The headlight on my srx won't go on right away as well, until it hits the certain idling rpm also.
