Progress so far........
Managed to get the case apart without too much trouble. Used the Stanley knife method and as long as your careful and take your time, it's not difficult.
Stupid way to seal clocks, glue them together. Obviously, Bimota did not want the user getting into them
Next up, getting the hands off the motors. They are glued on (thanks Jon) and a right bugger to get off. I managed to pull the tacho stepper motor apart whilst tackling this stage
That's as far as I've got whilst waiting to see if Jon has any useful spares for these clocks...............Next episode soon |

Might be able to do you a stepper motor Oily at £15. How many are you looking for? _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

It won't be the hair that suffers, it'll be the blood pressure and the bike.
Seriously......what could go wrong |

Are they the same motor for the speedo and tacho? |

Hi Oily
Just saw your post and I've not been in the forum for a while now. I have a spare meter which the speedo is working but the tacho although working is not so accurate . If you do need a spare meter you can write. _________________ Riding a bike is only as dangerous as your mind and level of training. The rest is up to God. |

UPDATE..............
I've had an acquaintance who is an electronics expert looking at my clocks for the last few days. His verdict........ Pile of junk
He said they were very badly designed and very cheaply made and guaranteed to have more problems than Gordon Brown
He also commented that I would get a more accurate result if I navigated by the stars
Soooo, thanks for all the offers of spares etc. guys, but I think I'm going to invest in a digital dash. |
