New to the forum,
It has been raining a lot here in Panama City recently so my bike has been sitting but I do crank it up time to time. So my first issue that has been a issue for awhile when I am cruising if my RPM gets below 3 grand the bike will spit and sputter. Yesterday I decided to drive the bike to work because it was nice out. Well when I switched it on there was ah issing sound coming from the fuel tank area. When I cranked it up and rode I could hear a vacuum leak... that could be as simple as removing the tank and finding the vacuum leak. Well when I left work I was beeping my horn to say bye to my coworkers well the horn slowly died and then down the road I noticed my speedometer light quit working and it was stuck on 10mph. Also, my signals and brake lights do not work anymore either. Any ideas for any of the issues?

Since you hear a vacuum leak and the bike sputters under 3K rpms, you might have an intake leak at the heads. That would definitely cause what you have described. However, it also sounds like you have an electrical issue. Check battery connections and ground connections as well.
