No speedo
« on: June 22, 2016, 23:50:01 »
On my way to Nottingham this morning I looked down at the clocks to see nothing :icon_exclaim: I was OK for the speed just looked at the Sat Nav but what about the temperature and fuel gauge? turns out its the wire loom behind the front left panel, that's a job for the weekend  :fix:

With everything gone, it's likely the black/white earth lead has lost connectivity. Installing headlight relays early would have prevented that but now marginal connections have to be repaired.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s

Thanks for that GW I've fitted headlight relays soon after buying it, all I had on was the clock (at least I could tell the time). If I move the wires behind the front left hand panel it all comes back on.

When you get the poor connection sorted, it should last a long time then.
