  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I have a 08 510 smr. The problem is the tachometer doesn't work, and the numbers for the mileage, hours, etc are messed up. Im not sure what is causing it. Ive also tried to figure out the total km and miles but they dont seem to match up. Ill post pictures below. Will I need a new dash?

Just wanted to post this cuz why not, Ive tried to figure out the mileage by myself, might help you guys whoever wants to take a crack at it, but I have to get it as close as possible to the actual mileage (have an appointment to register it on the 19th and i need exact mileage lol) BTW the person who I bought it from had 8750 miles in 2017 when he registered, but he said he didnt ride it that much.
 
Yes, you will need a different gauge. The display is deteriorating. Probably will need something like a Trailtech.

If I do get a trailtech, can I set the mileage to what it was previously or would I have to add whatever miles I rack up on the trailtech to the current gauge? Also, would you recommend buying a used or new oem gauge or go for aftermarket brands like trailtech?

If you can still get a new one, that would be great. getting a used one of the same vintage will beg the same problem to arise. I don't really know any other brands besides Trailtech and that is what I use on all my trail bikes. I just use their most basic model, the Endurance II, although you would probably want a Voyager for your bike. And to the question of being able to change mileage on a new meter. No, because people would do dishonest things with them.
 
I would open the unit up and gently press on the lcd display at the connectors.
Most dash units use a conductive silicone strip to connect the main PCB to the glass of the LCD. Disassembly and cleaning can help but applying gentle pressure may fix the poor connections so you can read the numbers correctly.

Here's a sample so you can see what I'm talking about: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/YS-Type-LCD-To-PCB-Connection_60605978421.html
 
The new SWM models have what looks to be the exact same dash. Probably going to be a few hundred dollars, though.
