I think I can help with the gearshift solenoid problem. When this happens
on my 93 Classic (twice in a year) it's the brake light switch. For all the
other stuff I say buy a service manual and use the troubleshooting guide or
the fault diagnosis mode on the ECU. Some things will turn out to be
simple, although not intuitive and the ones you can't diagnose can then be
farmed out (or ignored like I do).
