First get a new custom face from this sight. http://www.stargis.net/webslinger/Images/Speedo/index.htm
Understand that in doing this mod myself and rswarrior.com take no responsibility in the outcome of what you do or mess up so attempt at your own risk.
1. Remove the headlight cover
2. Take the 2 allen head bolts that hold the speedometer onto the uper tripple trees off.
3. Inside the headlight are three connectors for the speedometer. One green, one blue, and one red. Disconect these
connectors and pull them threw the rear of the headlight. Now the speedometer should be compleetly off of the bike.
4. Remove the 4 screws on the back of the speedometer allowing you to remone the outer cover. Next is the fun part.
5. The beauty/retaining ring that holds the front of the speedometer together will have to be cutt off. Dont get to
excited yet. just cut carefully across the back of the ring where it has been folded around the housing.MAKE SHURE
TO LEAVE TABS OR SECTIONS UNCUT AS YOU GO. These will be how you are going to reinstall the ring back on later. as
shown in the pictures.
"
6. next once you have cut sections out of the back of the ring carefully bend the tabs that you left up so that the
ring can be removed.
7. Once the ring is removed the glass and ruber gasket should come out as well.
8. The speedometer needle can be carefully removed using a regular fork that you can find in your kitchen.
9. now there are 4 screws on the back of the iner housing that you just removed the ring and glass from that will
be removed so that you can get the speedometer out of the housing.
10.To get the speedometer face off you will remove the two outer screws on the face and very carefully use a razor
blade to cut threw the small amount ot glue on the back of it.I also used a zip tie just to push the blade threw. TAKE YOUR TIME ON THIS.
11.Disasembly is now complete.
12.I took advantage of this time to paint the beauty ring that goes over the speedo Blue and the iner housing that
is white is now balck as it will be seen slightly when reasembled.
REASEMBLY
1. This is easy just take the new speedometer face and insert it back into the housing and reinstall the two small
screws that hold it in.
2. Next take the speedometer needle and slightly insert it in but not all the way yet. Spin itto the left till it
stops. If it is not on 0 then take it out and reinsert it it all the way in directly at zero. I tested mine with a GPS when I was done to make shure it was on point and found that it was reading right on in town and 4 over on the highway. The same as befor I started.
3. Now place the speedometer back into the iner housing and reinstal the four screws that hold it in the back.
4. place the black metal cover and the glass back over the speedo face.(I cleaned the glass with rain x anti fog
just incase any moisture were to get in it wont fog up on me.
5. put the top beauty ring back on and press slightly hard so that you can get the tabs all the way down and bend
them back down so as to hold the ring on tight to get a good seal on the glass.
6. Now reinstal the outer housing and the four screws that hold it on from the back.
7. Reinstal the speedometer the same way you took it off of the bike and your done.
8. after i did the speed check to ensure that I got the needle back on correctly I took the outer housing back off
and put a small layer of black silicone around the bottom of the part that was cutt off just to prevent
moisture.
If you have any questions or need help on this mod feel free to PM me if needed.
Sorry I did not take pics on reasembly as the wife took the camera to a birthay party when I put it back together but you should be able to get it .
I am not spoiled, I am just broke.
