Hookman49 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Ok, first ride of the season this morning and I seem to be having an issue with my speedometer. It seems to work ok and then it will go to zero and back and forth. Almost like when my r/r shit the bed (but all may gauges were doing it then). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBadExxample Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 What year is your XX? If it's a FI one, maybe the wiring loom fix is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hate to tell you this, Ken, but its a low voltage issue. Check the state of charge of your battery, the grounds, and whether its charging or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrideCX Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I had an intermitten problem with the speedo light and it was the plug that is on the back of the gauge cluster. There was a build up of corrosion on the connector. Try cleaning the connection and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the state of charge of your battery, the grounds, and whether its charging or not. Shit, I was afraid of that. On the way home I tried a few things. I could really make it happen if my rpm's dropped below 4000. Will check the install of the battery. Shit. I have went through so many batterys lately.

Glad to hear it's all better, hope I'm not making you paranoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I hope is all better now too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
