Is it a Generation 2 bike?
There were several people on this forum (including me) that experienced the left button failing on our bikes (Generation 1). There was no fix for it apart from changing the clocks

I think it may be a Gen 2 as he listed it as a 2014 XTZ 'E', I'm going to assume he means electronic suspension? If so, the menu buttons to change the screen display would be on the L/H switchgear.

New findings: Menu button was started to work sometimes, also selecet button doesn't work properly too. For example select button doesn't start or change the level of warmer. It looks like enfected computers, freezing, late responding. Now it is better than first post. I have to say that ıt was all started after I washed the bike. I washed it with pressurized water, but I kept it too far.

Take the switch assembly apart and with the internal parts open, lay the entire thing in a bowl, then cover it with rice. No need to disconnect it from the bike, just arrange it so you can do this with it attached.

The rice will absorb the water moisture that has gotten into the switch parts. Let it sit for 24 hours at minimum. This should return your operation to normal. Use some electronics contact cleaner afterwards to blow it all off. If you see any indications of water when you blow it off, repeat the rice treatment.

This is a common technique to save cell phones and other electronic devices that have gotten accidental water exposure and works well.

Could it just be the connector from that switch unit to the main harness? If several switches on side begin to goof up I would start there. It may need cleaning. Yes, going near it with a pressure washer is a bad idea but I would just check that before launching into the guts of the switch.

Where is that connection or switch? Somewhere in the cockpit? Somewhere under the right or left panels?

The connector is under the upper right side panel. It's shielded inside a cup like rubber sleeve. That is pretty protected from water intrusion, but no harm in checking.

The switch on the bar would seem to be more likely. Unscrewing the two halves of the switch housing and snipping the zip tie that holds the wires to the bar should give you enough slack to do the rice trick, if you decide to try that.

Bu sorun nasıl çözüldü?
Aynı problemi ben de yaşıyorum. Aynı şekilde basınçlı su ile yıkadım. Ardından menü butonu ve dashboard'daki reset butonu işlevini görmemeye başladı. Sanki sağdaki ekran (tripmetre) çalışmıyor gibi oldu.
Acaba kendiliğinden geçti mi?
