Husqvarna TE 510 2008 speedometer compatibility

[Ismael Jesus]

Hi guys,

Just broke my 2008 TE 510 speedometer.

Is it possible to replace it with a differente year one?

I can get good deals on used one from years 2006,2007 and 2009/2010.

Thank you.

Why not a TrailTech unit. They are great and decent price. Even GPS for bit more money. I have used them on a few bikes and love them.

...and they're pretty much bolt-on.

(the stud spacing is the same; the speed sensor connector is the same. I think this is true for the '08s also)

I think the stock husky ones are the same throughout the years. They may have changed it once? around '06.

Do you have a link to the specific Trail Tech unit you have in mind ? I have a 2006 TE250.

Does it have a similar connector yes/no ?

Will the rpm meter work ?

Will the neutral green light work ?

Will the turn signal work ?

Will the hi/lo beam light work?

Is there a TT or similar unit for which most of the above will work ?

Thanks in advance !

If you go to the trailtech website you can see all the different ones. The plugs will be different. I have used the vapor and the striker. You can get the idicator light dashboard that has the lights that you want built in. You will have to do some wiring though.

The vapor with the dashboard will do everything you listed.

Thank you ! That was very helpful !!

I think you mean this one, the TT VAPOR STEALTH COMPUTER:

or possibly the 08-12 Husqvarna specific model "752-102" :

combined with the suitable (universal?) DASHBOARD :

or even a $180 BUNDLE with BOTH units like this :

The last one does say explicitly "HUSQVARNA"... So I assume there is some level of better (plug?) compatibility ?

How did you guys deal with the connection, it would seem to me the simplest way is some sort of a "Husky to TT" wiring adapter, with one end that (almost) fits into the pre-existing Husky plug out of the bike, and a second one that fits right in the back of the TT unit(s).

Does something like that exists, or very close to it, it would be a cleaner install ? Link ? Or do you just wire "this red to this blue" etc. individually ?

Sorry for all the questions.

All the sensors come with the unit so they plug in with their own plugs. The lights you will have to wire yourself, no plugs. I think the only "husqvarna" specifics is the way stuff mounts not the plugs. Could be wrong. I always just get the generic kit and do what I want. If you want plug and play you will have to go with a OEM husqvarna unit.

I found the cheapest place for the trailtech was Thumpertalk store last time I bought one.

Herb and Ismael-

you could tap into the harness-end of the stock speedo's connector. Just put complementary pins/wire on the conductors you're interested in (hi beams, neutral, and turns, I'm guessing) and run them to the TT. secure the wires and fill the half of the connector with (silicone maybe?).

btw, turn sigs- you're gonna hafta "wire-or" them together. This isn't as hard as it sound: each turn wire gets a diode, and the cathode of the diodes are twisted together and have a wire soldered on 'em (this is the wire that goes to the single turn light or LED indicator). This keeps one direction of turn sigs from flashing the other at the same time.

yes, you could get a connector and wire it up to fit the stock husky connector- but for somebody without experience, this is a big job.
