Berty congratulations with your new to you bike.
Cormanus i have to confess the fact that i have a similar problem on my lcd display, so sorry to leave that out mate......
In my case the last digit on the odometer is fading in and out, initially it displays normal but later on it fades away.
The problem lies in the contact area of the etched glass, all digits have multiple segments and common contact points,
for instance an eight has seven segments which can be individually switched on to represent the correct number.
they also have a common connection, the "cathode" which is the opposite backplane conductor, so depending if individual bits lose contact or the common one parts or the whole digit stop working.
It's a very delicate structure ( including a "zebra" conducting rubber connector which makes all the contacts under light pressure ) that connects the glass lcd screen to the printed circuit board of the instrument panel and has some risk of loosing more contacts if the re-positioning and cleaning of the parts is not successful which is why i just live with it.;
Our lcd is a custom design part specifically for our bike.
Hope that explains our issue, welcome to the group.
