My speedometer light works intermittently

On my 2009 stock dyna streetbob the backing light for the speedometer goes out at cruising rpm. When I let off the throttle and go back to idle rpm the light comes back on. This happens consistently. All other lights, the speedometer, odometer and clock are all working correctly.

I believe it turned out to be the stator

Have seen a couple different things cause this issue;

1. Bad voltage regulator

2. Wires under rear fender getting worn away by the tire and creating a short

3. Loose battery terminal connection

4. Speedometer might be going out

I'd start with the easy stuff like checking the wires tightening the battery connections/making sure the terminals aren't super corroded and go from there.

Hope this helps!
