speedo

Hello Everyone Ive been reading these forums for a while now ( Hia Sean!), and have seen a wealth of information! I was hoping to tap into to this goldmine with a little question about the speedo. I got my max back on the east coast, and it had this funny squeaky sound i could never really...

I was only able to get the speedo cable hand tight on the side that connects to the speedo. Is this gonna be a problem? If so what is the easiest way to access that area? I took the headlight off and was able to get a little bit of space but not enough to tighten it with anything other than...

The other day the tripmeter knob broke off in my hand but everything still works . I want to take my speedo apart tp see if i can fix it . Is it easy to get in to and has anyone had theirs apart ? :ummm:

I think the new Max is a beautfiul piece of art except for that god awful wart of a speedo/tach, anyone feel the same way and if so anyone find a viable option for a replacement??

Does any one know of a company that makes a 1.5'' speedo that would work in the gauge cluster?

Anyone have a unit installed. Wondering about the receiver and how/where to mount it that won't look too obtrusive. Can it be mounted behind the headlight or on top of the triples? I'm lookin at the Autometer one but anyone know of others with perhaps multi functions and that is shaped like a...

Help: Speedo differences between A0/A1? Does anyone know the differences between the 85-92 speedo 1FK-83570-A0-00 and 93-01 1FK-83570-A1-00? I have '85 and was wondering what effects, if any, would be seen if I replaced with the A1 version. I appreciate any insight anyone would like to share...

Hello, The Max design is often commented of having the speedo and tacho arrangements in inconvinient locations. This is true - particularly if rode often with hard acceleration (probably the case with most owners...) when RPMs are difficult to see. Anyway, there are certainly a lot of...

I bought a Barrnett steel braided speedometer cable on eBay a couple of months ago. I finally got around to installing it this past weekend. I put it on and the thing came apart didn't even ride with it yet. The steel braided line came out of the steel sleeve the part that attaches to the...

anyone here have a easy way to roll the miles back on the speedo . I want to start at 00000.0 with new engine since the bike is basically new now.:punk: thx ,Jason

I was driving home from Stuttgart on Saturday when my speedometer needle started jumping around and finally just stayed on zero. I knew it had to be wrong since I was sure to be travelling about 80MPH according to my GPS and things were whizzing by. I have checked the cable and it seems to be...

I Have A 2006 , I Bought It New ( Left Over ) 3/07 ,i Love It !! The First Time I Rode It At Nite, The Gauge's Were So Brite They Really Bothered Me !!!! Especialy The Speedometer Thats In My Face !!! So I Took My Gauge's Apart, Put Really Low Watt Bulbs In Them, And Covered The Bulbs With Red...

Just wondering if the speedo on a 2006 is electric or mechanical

does anyone know how to disassemble the speedometer so it can be greased (when I drive in colder weather, it sounds funny)

Would these work? http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=4c4b4984-8464-4612-a2d7-4969d6b0145b I know someone had asked about this in another thread... \m/ DS

Hey guys just got my Vmax Venture home. to find the speed and rev counter are dead.. i need to replace them before i put the bike through and MOT. i dont want to spend a fortune and would preffer to put a digital set on... the set i have found are here...

Out of curiousity did the Max ever come out with a black face plate in the speedo? The reason I'm asking is I've got fairly bad night vision, I can see well enough but when I've got lights shining in my eyes it makes it very hard to see anything. I swapped the speedo's out on my Virago from...

hey guys, i have rectified my little electrical prob. one of the connectors were not fully connected. simple fix thankfully. however, has anyone had any problems with the speedo fogging up. i'll go on a ride and it will start to fog and then condense on the inside forming little water...

I got it from Ronayers.com for $28.04 part # 4HM-25190-20-00 this corrects the high speedometer reading after installing 17 inch wheels, also something to be aware of that using the stock speedo gear with a 17 inch wheel will result in false miles accumulation as it will count miles faster than...
