MaxPower, maybe one of the connections is not making full contact from when you put it all back together?

i got my guages split open right now... how the hell did you get those needles off? the clear piece is 1 solid piece.
actually max power, i think i know how you can fix your gauges. if they are anything like mine....
open them back up, and apply glue to where the needle tube meets that motor pin. its slipping, which is causing the gauge to go wild.
edit: it really doenst look you can do this with out just yanking on that needle...which i suspect will cause the guage to go nuts when you reinstall it
edit twice: yea i figured it out. you should leaves the needles out, turn on the bike let the needle set down to 0 install them. then add a dab of glue.

do you think it would make a difference to put antifog on the inside of the gauge lenses to keep the condensation off? it always seems to be foggy on the bottom half of the inside of the lens when it is cold out....

He Man the gauges look pretty good in the pictures, having them too bright would be annoying.
As for my tach, I'm pretty sure it's not the needle slipping because during the first sweep sequence, the needle will rotate backwards when it should only be going forwards, slipping wouldn't cause that.
I went so far as opening up the motor driving the needle and actually found one of the windings had somehow become disconnected from the motor terminals. After some careful soldering, I hooked it back up, turned the key, and voilà! No difference... Something is still effed.

hmmm..thats strange....hope you get it sorted out eventually. Maybe you just pulled on the needles too hard lol. do you think it would make a difference to put antifog on the inside of the gauge lenses to keep the condensation off? it always seems to be foggy on the bottom half of the inside of the lens when it is cold out....
Probably would help, but i dont know how long that stuff lasts, or if there are any ill effects on the gauge facing. |

So does that mean I simply need to -open up the gauge by undoing 3 screws -desolder the led that are in place (like heman's video) -and then solder on the new leds? (like heman's video in reverse) or am i confused?  |

Some solder wick would make that job a lot easier( the no clean flux kind is the best) and a lot safer. A solder sucker would work ok too. Be careful you don`t lift up the pad when you only desolder one side and move the led`s. Then it will be fun to fix if you are not experienced.

I bought a hot air rework unit off eBay. Worked awesome, made it super easy. |

The hot air knife`s are awesome. I just don`t think most people are as lucky to have one.  |
