Sure - as Micha mentioned, I had the same problem.
In my case the plus-battery-cable went loose - and this caused above
problems. I'm sure that if you wait for some days without doing anything on
the bike you will have no power when turning the key - and suddenly the
power will be back again.
Simply fix your battery cables and the problem disappears.
There are maybe some side effects:
The indicators only work when the bike is standing, and not when driving
(really !!!!)
Maybe some other lights don't work
A really interesting problem, but I haven't figured out why the tripmaster
is running faster when the cable gets loose - even if the clock is running
normal.
A possibility could be that the sensor in the speedometer measures against
plus, and because of that the tripmaster thinks of faster driving.
