Instrument panel cuts out intermittently

[robskinn 0]

After starting the engine and running the bike for 15 minutes or so, the power to the instrument panel cuts out intermittently then comes on again. It does this continually, but if I leave the bike for a while to cool down it behaves normally until the engine has been running for a while.

 

I've ruled out a problem with the battery, checked all the fuses and cleaned out all of the connections to the instrument panel. With my limited knowledge of electrical issues I've 'possibly' narrowed it down to;

• Rectifier.
• Alternator.
• Earth connections.
• Faulty instrument panel problem. 
• Faulty wiring.

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

That's exactly what my 2014 X did before the main fuse above the starter relay melted to it.

I had a battery that was starting to die, which amplified the situation.

Also one chap had  a problem with the instrument panel plug/socket, one of the pins had been pushed out so was not making contact correctly.
