Hi, I've been shopping for an older used Monster. Just looked at a '99 M900. It runs & looks great but the tach & speedo don't work. The owner says they stopped working after he swapped out the forks.
Does this sound like something reasonable to troubleshoot & fix or am I looking at a potential can of worms?
Thanks,
Kevin
Speedo runs off a drive on the front wheel, might just need realigning, tacho I think off a pickup on the crank, wiring is in the headlight I think not insurmountable .
Change the belts though and fit a casing saver.
Love mine.

I have a 97 M900 and the speedo/tach went south and were fugly to boot. Changed out to a digital Acewell speedo/tach combo. I think it was around $100. Bought the Haynes manual ~ $25 and it includes a wiring diagram that I blew up and laminated.
If you can read and breathe, you can change it out, I did and am no mechanic by any means.

'99 didn't come with a tach at all from the factory. The aftermarket ones are (at this point) 21 year old Italian electronics. So, on that note, see the above thread as that seems like a spot-on fix in my book...
Thanks to all- this is encouraging!
