Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

i have fitted an mph speedo in place of the metric one on my bike, when i got the bike nearly finished i was checking the wiring and noticed, that when i switched the ignition on, the seedo needle swept around the face of the clock. i have never noticed this before, is it right or have i done something wrong

the tacho on my TDM 9er does that, but the two TRX don't tho.
cheers

I see how the RPM could swipe on start up but I dont believe the speedo could as it is driven by the speedo gear

Did you replace the old clocks with standard TRX clocks or an aftermarket set?

I replaced the KPH clocks with a set of standard MPH clocks not long after getting the bike, and haven't had any issues. Did you have to mess with any of the wiring/connectors?

sorry guys i made a stupid mistake, its not the speedo its the tacho, before anyone says its an easy mistake to make it isnt, if anyone sees me at squires bar feel free to kick me in the bo--ocks, what a prat, thanks guys
