It would appear you have a loose connection. I would start at the battery terminals and move from there. Could also be your ground has come loose. Suggest you start bike and while watching the meter start wiggling wires and hope the meter starts to bounce at some point. Good Luck!

I was also thinking it could be your Voltage Regulator or Altenator starting to fail.

Default voltmeter bouncing

My '02 EG started that yesterday. I also noticed the fuel gauge was reading wrong. Will see if it is a loose wire or bad ground today.
Good luck.
