    I posted earlier about resurrecting an '83 Nighthawk 650, it's turned out to be a really fun bike. Only issue, albeit minor, is that it doesn't show when it's in second gear on the dash. 1, neutral green, 3, 4, 5, OD all show up but no 2. Any ideas what would cause this. Second gear works fine.

    Best guess is that the LCD is failing and can no longer show a 2. Either that or the solder needs to be reflowed.
