Right the other day I took my dash appart to see how easy it was to Change the led colour, i took it to pieces decided I can't do it and put it back together, now I think I must of put the needle back in wrong as I now have the needle I 0 position when ignition off, turn key the needle goes all the way up and back to stop on 3.5k (engine not running) Any one know an easy solution? Yes I know the obvious solutions like don't take your dash apart etc ! I know they are coming lol
Yea basically I had to take nose back off take of dash and remove dash glass, I then tried to put the needle at 3.5k and wind it back and that didnt work it just bounced back up! At this point the old fuse was getting shorter and shorter! So I then thought what if i plug dash back in turn ignition on and prize the needle back off with my spoons, but then I thought will that electrocute me?!?! Then I thought fcuk it if I fry myself I can't kick the bike over out of stress so I gave it a go. With ignition still on I put needle back on in the 0 position and it worked! I'm a genius lol now it's all bolted back Together again nose back on. Job done, thank fcuk I sh1t my self a bit there
yeah I had to do the same when I took mine apart.but I dont think I took the nose off to get to the clocks, I removed the screen.
Lol yep could of done with one of them! The bloody brand new nose has been on and off 3 times and it's never been on the road yet
get used to it...once you start you never stop, lost count how many times I had mine apart. I fitted accent led's all round the swingarm and engine bay so it looked very trick at night.had to pull the faring off totally to do that,think I might do it to my new blade too.
I have had my bike 3 years and been too scared to touch it myself until last 2 weeks taken every panel off lol I'm not sure if just my imagination but I think it sounds different since flapper mod, not ridden yet just revved on spot
How about trying these guys Martin: Cluster Repairs UK - Instrument cluster speedometer repair, correction, modification and spares.
Thanks mate I have fixed the Needle now but I will give them an email see if they can make it blue for me
Can you let me know what kind of price they come back with mate? I've toyed with the idea of doing this, but I was thinking of white
Yea no problem, I thought white but my gear indicator is blue so makes sense to match. What years your bike mate?
Mine's an 07 mate, My gear indicator is orange, to match the standard clocks lol This is the only other place I've seen that does colour changes for the cluster, but you'd have to send them off to the US: Honda CBR1000RR Gauge Backlighting - Bluegauges.com
I got the illumiglo gauges off them guys when I had the RR5, then I bought the leds on ebay and done the gauges myself.cant see any of the kits now.
