The green neutral light is operated by a ball-detent switch under the engine, and is very reliable. The LCD display with the flashing bars is controlled by the gear position switch under the countershaft sprocket cover. It is a rotary switch turned by a slot in the end of the shift drum.
As Lord Popgun says, it is likely connection or corrosion problem at its plug-in. However, another forum member had a similar problem, and found that the roll pin on the switch's rotating shaft had fallen out. In this case, it might be just loose, but ready to fall out. Easy to check, but be sure you note the pin's position, as the shaft can be rotated 180 degrees out of phase.
