fluttering dash lights

[quasi]

haven't been on the bike for a few days. started it up this evening to go for a ride and the illumination lights in the cluster were fluttering. stops after a couple minutes. did it twice this evening. everything else was fine. first time this bike has done anything goofy in the 2 years I've owned it. new battery this spring and used alligator washers at the terminals. 2012 rts

Check every earth connection you can find!! And the dash/instrument plugs, plus anywhere you've touched or anyone else has touched recently... it's likely to be a loose connection somewhere. :sour:

Hey Peter, the only earth connections should be the tires .... oh, you mean ground! :joke:

Sounds like a loose connection--as mentioned above. Let us know what it was when you find it. :yes::yes:

started the bike up this morning for a ride over into the eastern panhandle, and nothing, no fluttering dash illumination lights. not going to stir the pot and just leave it alone. because what can go wrong usually does with me. gremlins!
