I have read on this forum about a similar issue like this. Their issue turned out to be a bad ground cluster. Search the forum for burned out or bad ground cluster to read more.

I agree with Miguel, it sounds like a bad ground.  What year is the bike?

I would be 99% positive it's a bad ground. Likely to be under the left side fairing. The blue connector under the rubber boot gives trouble. The you need to deal with is the green one. On the very bottom closest to you.

You will need to tap it on to the frame to make a solid ground.
Hope this helps

I  always check  mine in  January  and  this  year  I  lost  a stator  and  rechecked after  replacing  the  stator  and  found  a  couple  had  corroded in  about  6  months.  Of  course  I  suspect  the  failing  stator  had  something  to  do  with  it  but  no  way  to  really  prove  it.


Also  the  connector  to  the  back of  the  instrument  panel  are  bad  to  come  loose.
