Another problem discovered...

While ridding, at any speed, at any time, randomly the instrument cluster stops responding and the speed or the gear position is not indicated. Then suddenly I can get into a bump down or up shift and it gets back to life. Why is this happening?

Loose ground?

I'm having the same issue with my new 08... I suspect a loose cable on the speed sensor.

Is the tach still working?

If you have gear position, you have an 09 cluster?

Tach continues to run, as well as the back lit, trip meter, etc. I am not sure if this is an 09 cluster. There is a way to tell w/o pulling out the whole fairing?

No, I'm not sure, but my bike (08) has the same issue. It's intermittent, and sometimes throws the CEL

I just had the front clip off this weekend looking for a way to help insulate the IC from excessive vibrations. Take the front fairing off, and check all the wiring up and around that area. If you are not sure, gently disconnect all the wires, take a peek at them and look for corrosion also. I would suspect a loose wire or perhaps a grounding issue. Good luck and I hope this helps.

PS - The IC is not hard to remove. It is attached to the fairing stay by 3 bolts. They can be slightly difficult to remove but just be easy when messing with it.

If it has the gear indicator it is an 09' IC.

Got the same problem on an '09. A bit disconcerting. Speedo always comes back up on next restart. Haven't been able to troubleshoot the problem yet.
