Default Possible fix

Craig, I have an 05 Tuono, and have the same problem. Checked the ignition switch, wiring, all connections(dry joints ), no luck.
Dealer looked, but did not understand problem. Mine occurs when the starter button is pushed, the motor won't turn and the tacho flickers, and trip and clock zero. All have to be reset. Possible cause appears to be the battery not fully charged, as it happened after a period of no use, and the battery woudn't turn the engine.
Cure; I fitted leads and charge the battery with a trickle charger every two weeks. No problem/hesitation starting, and no more resetting required.
