Change Gauge Faceplate [How To]

[Remish]

Hi everybody;
Before everything I'm sorry for my poor english (I'm French Biker ...)
Yell.
One week later I've change my faceplate. I've done some pics and I'm trying to show how to do it on the new Busa Gen.II

Some pics of the result :







On the two last pics : see the two differents mods ...



This pics show you what to change :



First : you have to remove all the gauges.

To do this :
First : remove the lower metter panel

[Remish]

to do this remove the two pins on the left and the fight of the panel and the screw on the center bottom the key :




And here :


To remove the pins, use a screwdriver like this :




Remove now the center screw :

[Remish]

You can now remove the lower metter panel :


Now you can remove the upper metter panel :
To do this, remove the left and right upper pin :


To Remove it : use a screwdriver to push on the center of the pin :

[Remish]

Now remove the two other left and right pins :

and








After remove the 4 pins, you have to remove the upper metter panel.
To remove it you have to pull on the left and right of the panel :

[Remish]

and after pull on the center :


After remove the upper metter panel, you can remove the left and right screw of the metter himself :

Use a pipe wrench of 8




After removing the two screw, remove the metter panel : pull on the left and on the right :

The panel is maintened by two ergot :

Unplugged the main connector :


At the end you have something like that :


A little pause ...

[Remish]

Now you have to remove the back and the front of the gauge metter :


To Remove the screw and work on the gauge metter : put it on a
soft piece of tissue (to prevent from making scratch)


Without the back :


Remove the screw on the top of the gauges :


Personnaly I advise you to start with the speedometter (try with the one you won't use at the end : I suppose you should use the mph speedometter, so do some try with the kmh first ...)
Train to put it at the right place (to do it : put the indicator/needle/pointer throw the center hole) :


(without the two screw)
If you are ok with the technic, remove partial piece of the tape on the final faceplate :

[Remish]

And put it on the gauge metter. You should have at the end :




Now be carefull with the wire, they are extremely breakable (on the end of the wire) (particularly here)


I advise you to put the wire on the hole of the main connector.
Now you can put again the back and the front of the gauge : do it very slowing : if something has bad placement : you could break the wire (sorry I don't know how to explain it better)

You can put back the gauge metter to the bike :


Remove the left panel :

[Remish]

Plug the 4 wire to the central connector and fixe all of it like this :


Plug the main power of the central connector to the left front flashing :


Tape the gauge central on the left :


Be carefull with the wire of the variator command :


After all, you can put back all the panel ...

Enjoy ...

Sweet, I got the different colour LED bulbs for mine but there is not way I'm going to try & solder them in they are so small I can barely see them.
