Title: intermittent readings on the display.
Post by: tapps on April 07, 2023, 06:42:24 PM
last weekend the gear change reading was over the place, i took it out today, prior to starting it was reading 12.6v then raised ti 14.3v then while riding went back to 12.6v, then up & down, the the reading was up & down like a YOYO, the battery was replaced with the OEM one about 2 years ago, could it be the battery causing this, may need a trip to the dealers to run it through a diognostic check.

Check the battery connections are tight.

The switch
needs replacing or cleaning. I had the same problem and a new switch cured it.

It reads 14.4v when charging and 12.6v when not charging or when engine off.
Sounds like you had a dodgy connection. It's a common issue on these.
