just a Note if you LCD goes blank but the back light is on. Check all fuses. Mine went blank and the bikes motor shut down. I did check the fuse box for the ignition fuse but ignored the Fuel, lights ect. The headlights, turn signals all worked ok. Just would not start and the screen was blank. Had it towed to the nearest dealer and showed them the issue and said I checked the ignition fuse. Turned out the fuel fuse blew. The dealer ship was great and only charged me 25 bucks. My thought was had the displal been ok IE showing the MPH/milage/D ect I would have pulled the fuel fuse. I assumed the ECM was based on the blank screen. So if your LCD goes blank check fuel and ignition fused. I have to believe this is some logic in the ECM ?

I cant complain it was only 25 bucks since the tow was free through my insurance co. I Just think its silly the LCD blanks like that.

But why did the fuel fuse blow?

Thanks for posting this. I am sure this will help others.

I have a wiring diagram and followed the Fuel fuse and wire R/BI does run to the Display. Also O/G does . That runs from the ignition fuse through the signal fuse to the display. My bet fuse 4 (ignition) or 5(signal) can do the same thing.

Looks like if the ignition fuse blows you loose your turn signals also. Since O/G runs to the signal fuse.

Fuses blowing usually indicates a short be it intermittent or constant. I always check all the fuses even if they don't seem be to related unless you've got a wiring diagram to reference because there may be more than one feed to a module like the cluster.
