Hi all,

Just back from testing my bike after some issues. Intermittently, when turning the key switch on nothing lights up on the display.
Only after flicking on/off several times the LED indicators then light up and everything works.

This happened several times before but indicators were not affected; however, now they are.

I'm at my wits end - help would be much appreciated. Any thoughts please?

TIA

You might be better in defining exactly which bike and battery......
Just a thought!

Probably a dodgy key switch or a solder contact on said key switch, if you are bale to open the case and access the switch try resoldering the wires or simply apply heat to the solder contacts puddling the joints and then letting them set again (could be a dry or bad joint).

Yes, I think it's a dodgy key switch

I think it's the key switch/bad joint contact as there is a gap outside where it should be flush with the case. I think I should send it to the shop to fix without opening.

Thanks for your help.
