Meter / Gauge Problem

soldierboy3502 · 05-11-2008, 10:10 PM

Maybe its just me but I was riding tonight and noticed that my speedometer was dark. I couldn't see the gas gauge or how fast I was going. Is it possible that there is a bulb in there that burns out? Or is there a fuse that might have burnt out? I'm not mechanically inclined. Help!!

Responded to your PM:
"There are a couple if lights (either 2 or 3, can't remember).
Just lift the speedometer nacelle and you'll see them, you can just twist them counter clockwise to release the socket and replace them. Common bulb that you can get at any auto parts store. I've had them burn out before, but one at a time. You might want to check your fuses first.
Hope that helps pal. Stay safe!

Probably just the bulb. Might be the plug under the chrome cover is loose too. Or corroded. Take a good look at it as you take off the speedo.
