I was just having the same problem on my 94 Sporty! Just all of a sudden started doing that. then a few days later just started working again. TEN, it didn't work again. All the times that it didn't work the relay under my seat would click on and off, replaced it and still the same thing. I checked my grounds and then just started going through my wiring. While I was doing that I broke a connection coming from my Tach. Soldered it back, then since it was all apart I decided to cut and tuck all the wires back behind the forks. After doing that it has worked since. So I'm still not sure if it was a bad connection, but it seems to have been. Don't think this probably helped but that is my experience with this problem.

Good luck!!! Damn WIRING!!!
