Usual cause of that is either a broken speed pickup sensor on the front wheel, or an electrical fault. If it's recently had new rubber, I'd suspect the pickup. Pretty cheap to fix, and plenty of information on the forum if you search long enough.

If it's electrical though, that's where it gets fun!

Mine stopped and started working when I changed the brake pads recently, found I was crushing the sensor cable between the fork lump and the stop, moved the cable and its worked OK ever since.

I had something very like that, but with a curvy... It was caused by a loose connection on the battery. Not sure if the same would happen with a pointy though.

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would wave as well but this white jacket they put on me is a bit constrictive.
