Rider could be right, but it could also be that you have a bad ground, as this can often manifest itself as "flickering lights", or other strange gremlins.

Could also be that you have a bad ground in the dash. That's what I would look for next. Get a wiring diagram, and track down all the grounds.

Do the simple shit first. You can always fuck it up completely later on.

Makes sense, guys on the aprilia site have said start with the simple shit first and were usualy right whereas I am thinking its some sort of exotic problem. I always figure its some bizzare obscure thing because it happens to me
