Default Speedo cuts out??

Hey guys been riding and recent the speedo has been cutting out. The check engine light comes on and the backlight stays on but the needle freezes and the when I brake to stop it comes back. Anyone had that before?

I had the same issue right out of the showroom when I bought my bike now if I remember correctly it was the speed sensor on my bike

did you check for a loose cable?

Saw a very similar issue on a friend's sporty recently, dealer replaced the speed sensor, fixed the problem.
