So it turned out that the problem was a faulty instrument panel. I installed a new (second hand) one this weekend and it worked like new. I didn't have the time to clean the faulty one, but when I do I'll update this post. Thanks, everyone for the help and suggestions on this.

I'm going to get a can of that and give it a go. That'd be useful to have in the arsenal of 'specific cleaning products' Thanks!

Yes, I've heard that rice can help remove moisture. Thanks. I did leave it in the sun for a couple of hours this morning and continued to dry it off with a hairdryer to get under the circuit board and it looked bone dry but could have had some residue trapped.

Tested battery again when dash cut out. Working normally. 12.3v when off. 14.3v at 2,000 revs +

Further to this. I took apart the dash and it was indeed wet inside. Enough for drops to roll out. Dried out, cleaned with alcohol solution put back together and now nothing showing up on LDC part at all. Have ordered another replacement display so will update the post with my results.

Yes, I didn’t mention in my previous post but I originally took it to a garage for them to read the error code which came back as ‘power lost to the display’, or something along those lines. I already knew that it was losing power to the dash and it didn’t elaborate any further. I suppose if...

Thanks for the lead Lootzyan, appreciate it! I'm taking it off tonight to inspect it and see if there are any obvious signs of corrosion, water ingress etc... At least if it is that, it's easily replaced.

I have tested the battery with a voltage metre recently and the results were normal. The voltage was normal with engine off and was 14+ volts when revved to 3,00 ish rpm. I'm running a new battery as of yesterday but will test again to make sure this is consistent when the power cuts from the...

No, not all the power is lost. Everything in the LCD part cuts out but the neutral gear indicator and indicators lights are OK. As I mentioned in my post, the display does work until the engine has been running for 10 minutes or so... although this morning it did seem a little dimmer than usual...

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...

Be careful when using the valve clearance section of the service manual. My service manual (bought on eBay) had incorrect instructions. I only found out about it when reading a post on adjusting valve clearances elsewhere on this forum where they mentioned that some manuals were wrong. The...

Thanks for this post Antarius. Excellent work! Wish I'd have found it sooner as I suffered from having one of the Service Manuals that said to align the camshaft marks to the top index point. I started her up and it was clicking quite badly. Tomorrow I'm going to repeat the process using the...

According to the rims of my tyres that came with my Nc700 it says to inflate front to 42psi and rear to 42psi also. Is this wrong? Or is it just the maximum pressure for max load guidelines? My handbook didn't specify either way.
