A bad connection somewere?
Vibration when engine is running makes the connection to separate and display goes blank?
Either internally or in the cables connected.
Check the +12V and the earth.

I've had that same issue with their MVX-2000. First time I complained they sent me a new harness and that didn't fix it.. I ended up sending it in and eventually they sent me a new one.. Cold solder joints on the circuit board rattled lose from the vibration of the bike.. solid engine mount Softail...
