DRZ 400
The digital display goes completely out, leading to sudden enjun braking and sharted pants!!
I did wonder if it was a side stand switch or summat but this doesn't turn the dash off.
So I'm guessing ignition barrel is plopped but any other suggestions before I search for a replacement?
Cheers

I'm just back from a highland tour (Mini one) with my mate on his Ducrapi Multiwhatsist and it did the same thing! sometime knocking the instrument panel off and sometimes not, Bloody scary on a nip and tuck overtake on highland roads, so we tied a cable tie around the spring on the the sidestand to the sidestand to tension it a bit in case it was sagging going over bumps, it was worst between Ballachulish and Oban and a couple of times after leaving oban, so we stopped at Lochgilphead and done the fix, and it never missed a beat to Moffat

I did try hoiking down the sidestand while riding along and it cut enjun but not dash, so pretty sure its not that. Though apparently common on durrrz. Prolly even more pant sharting in highlands on Ducati!!!
Ahh big red button. Will give it pokey prod SR ta.
With enjun not running, I cycled ignition on/off a number of times and noticed once in about 10 goes turning on the ignition is not activating the dash/ignition.

Sounds like a dodgy ignition switch to me. Might be worth giving it a good squirt of electrickery contact cleaner down the key hole to flush out any debris. Common thing on Moto Guzzi apparently.

My mates Multiwhatsit had a split in the sidestand switch body and was full of water when he investigated on Monday, and said it looked like a stone had impacted it to cause the damage, the new switch arrived today, so should be good for Sunday
