I installed wiring upgrade kit for the speedo-sensor that changes it's power source, now I have no light on the speedo! At night how can I tell if I'm going fast enough to be a hooligan if I got's no speedo light? Has this happened to anyone else and how did you fix it???? Mabe it's just a co-inkydinky. 2000 M2 | ||

I took the back plate off the speedometer, pulled out the bulb, saw the element is broken, but I don't see how to replace it. It seems that it is integral to the rubber mount that holds it. There are a black and a yellow/white wire attached to the rubber mount, but they go back into the harness and to parts unknown. Do I have to replace the bulb, rubber mount, and the wires? If so, where the HECKK do the black & yellow/white wires go? | ||

The Bulb should just be a 194 I believe. I put an orange one in my bike. | ||

My speedo bulb was a normal "peanut" bulb. Doesn't it pull out from the rubber boot? Replacement = $0.65 | ||

ken: have you tried Leds in the meter housings? the pic that you posted looked like you used orange "hi-lights" all kidding aside lighting the bike like that could be considered a safety feature ( I'm serious ) sides It looks kinda cool would you consider posting how you did it? I had strobes for a while kinda hard to see 1 in the chin faring, 1 in the scoop it lit up the engine area as flashes of white (Message edited by oldog on August 17, 2005) | ||

You guys were right. I pulled harder & the bulb came out (I had pulled really hard before & thought I was going to break a wire. Just wanted to be really sure before I pulled any harder.) I had a red #194 around the house & it works. Although great for night vision, the red light will probably be too dim at night & I'll replace it soon w/a white one. Thanks. |
