What exactly are you referring to ref. stupid Calley (sic) issues? What do you want to do? |

You need to remove the front fairing plastic, then the cluster is held in by a few nuts and the wiring harness connection. Disconnect, swap in the other cluster, reassemble, and enjoy. |

Is the mileage stored in the cluster or in the engine controller? I know in cars with a digital odometer it is stored in the engine controller or body controller. So if you swap your clusters and your mileage doesn't change, swap the engine controllers. |

The info is stored on both the cluster and the ECM, but the cluster does not lose the info when installed on another bike. Whatever the cluster said when it was removed is what it will still say when it is installed again. |

I'm sure Froggy is probably right since he has an 1125, it was just food for thought before you tore everything down or had issues. |

Nothing else needs changing only the cluster, but if you really wanted to keep the matching ECM, it is located under the left radiator cover. Eight Torx 30 bolts to get the cover off, then a 10mm socket to remove the nut that holds it, unplug the two connectors and reverse to install on the other bike. A TPS may be required.
quote:TPS reset on any 2008+ fuel injected Buell. (From the Directlink guide) 1. Turn on the key. 2. Set the kill switch to the run position. 3. Don't start the engine. Rotate the throttle from fully closed (gently held closed) to fully open (gently held open), and then back again to closed (gently held closed). 4. Repeat 3 times. Hold at each stop (fully open, fully closed) for 1 full second. 5. Turn the key off and back on.

I am thinking of changing my cluster since I get a com error every now and then. Froggy, I think you said that it will display my current mileage from my ECM is this correct? |

COM error is cause by a lack of communication from the ECM and cluster, which is often caused by a low battery voltage (especially when starting the bike) or a loose connection somewhere. Changing the cluster is unlikely to fix the issue. |
