Don't understand. You need a few full stops and commas in there!

What's 'dino'?

Do you mean the gauges are 'pulsing' (flicking their full range)?

All the clocks, or just the tacho?

Makes perfect sense...

The R1 clocks have a diagnosis thing built into them, if its going up and down its normal indcative of a fault. The needle should stop at a certain point, this indicates the fault
Your tach will display 3 different diagnostic codes. They cycle every 6 seconds. you can safely run your engine w/the diagnostic code displaying. the engine codes per the service manual are as follows:

3000 rpms: throttle position sensor
7000 rpms: exup related
8000 rpms: fuel level indicator light
