Hi guys, I need to replace the dashboard of my TE630. The one that is currently on the bike got moisture inside and even though it is dry now, it does not seem to work properly. It still works but there are problems that I associated with it, i.e., the low light doesn't work and the high beam light doesn't work. BTW, I think the moisture got in through the mode selector button. The rubber (or is it plastic) button cracked and I only realized it when I removed the dashboard to dry it. So, I need to buy new dashboard. The question is, should I get an OEM dashboard or should I go with an aftermarket one, Trail Tech? What would you guys suggest, OEM dashboard or TrailTech dashboard? Thanks in advance, Bob
Hi If you decide to buy the OEM... take care! Look: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/speedo-change-te-to-sm.3226/
Thank you, motranqui. I have a question...or two... if I only want to replace the dashboard, not doing any te to sm change, do I still need to do the steps explained in that thread? Or is it simply a plug and play? Thanks, bob
If you don't mind my jumping in it's my understanding that the TE and SM use the same instrument cluster and you only get ONE CHANCE to set it up correctly, once plugged in. So it's a matter of making the right selection (for TE or for SM) in the start up menu as it can't be changed, once entered. This is what motranqui is referring to.
Yes, Eric V is right Sorry, may be this post explain better this issue http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/differences-dashboard-te630-sms630.84731/ The point is, once you plug the new OEM dashboard to the bike, you have only a few seconds to select SM mode or TE mode. If you don't chose any, the dashboard will set in SM mode... This was what happened to me, as in the Dashboard box nor the bike manual there is any kind of instructions warning you about it
Thank you very much Eric and motranqui. Good to know that the default mode is TE, so I've nothing to worry about. Bob
