    Donno why, but the permanently flashing neutral light is so annoying.

    I don't understand why there's a headlight lamp that is always on. Kind of a waste of space, IMO.

    Mine works like it should as far as I've noticed but one day while riding the rubber covering the button went missing. Does anyone have a broken one they want to get rid of so I can rob the top cover off of it? I'd like to prevent any moisture from getting in there and messing it up. Thanks!

    This may be a dumb question but do yall think it would be possible to get one of these units to work on a non computered bike and get everything to work like it should? What does the tach get it's signal from?

    The speedo crapped out on my 08 smr at 2400 miles after a hour and a half ride home in the rain one day. I just replaced it with a trail tech vapor.

    My TE449 was doing the same thing from new.
    It sounded normal when cranking, but the battery was weak.
    When it stalled on the compression stroke, the voltage was too low to crank it over on the first try & the voltage was dropping low enough to drop out the trip meter & clock settings.
    The original lead-acid battery was a 130cca, I replaced it with a smaller, lighter Lithium Ion battery with 220cca.
    I have got a full ride in without loosing the trip & clock data for the first time since owning the bike!!
    It also cranks over much quicker when starting as well.

    I went to the trouble of opening mine up ages ago, but didn't pursue it. It appears that they were originally designed to have a battery back-up fitted. (See Pics)

    As I have said elsewhere, I fixed mine when I fitted a lithium main battery to the bike, the crank voltage now stays high enough to prevent speedo drop-outs.

    So had fail come up on Speedo after trail ride where there was 6 water crossings. Still there the next morning. Stoped bike turned key off so engine stoped. Great FAIL GONE but started to move Speedo was reading 299kmph Shit then all of a sudden back to correct speed. So the next water crossing and all water crossings in future slow slow. Why o why would you make a part so sensitive to water.

    I'd be checking on your wiring & plugs for sealing.
    My whole bike has been under water, only the RH grip poking out.
    My speedo still works fine.

    I bought mine because most of the important electronic stuff is Japanese :-)

    I hope mine isn't starting to crap out. After I washed the bike last weekend I noticed the speedo disply was on without the key turned on. I was able to push the kill switch in to kill the pwer. After a hour or so it no longer stayed on. I am concerned but so far it still works good. 60+ hours and 1500 miles so far.

    I'm with you there. I gotta admit, though, I've never really looked into it to try to remedy that one.

    What I do- on my 630 (if it's likely to rain/shower...won't help otherwise)- is to take a generous sheet of cling-wrap, lay that over the speedo and then "roll" a rubber band around the edge until it "snaps" underneath the unit. That method usually leaves a very tight/clear film over it, protecting ingress from the screen, button and where the halves meet. As mentioned it's not gonna do much if I drop the bike in a stream, or a gush from underneath. I started w/ the cling-wrap after mine fogged up a bit after a storm, and after reading jtemple going through the hassles with his.

    Anyone got any tips on making the TE speedometer display the SMR speed. For 17" wheels. It says in the service manual a new dash can only select either mode the very first startup and that's it....

    Anyway to erase it and start fresh so I can activate the smr 17" wheel speed? ?

    Not happening. You get one chance to choose the wheel size when you install a new speedometer; that's it. There's no switching back & forth. If you want accurate gauges, you have to have two different speedos and swap them when you swap wheels.

    Dealer confirmed; we both learned the hard way together when I had my gauge replaced under warranty.

    I would imagine there would be a pulse modifier you could use for changing the signal to the dash.
    I'd have a search around the net for that, not so much just Husky, but in general, as a lot of the bikes use the magnet in disc idea.
    Someone will make something, it will be just a matter of modifying a % of the speedo pulse for the difference in wheel size.....
