Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2018 6:04 pm Post subject: Clocks Away ! |
|
|
so, last night I engaged the SB6R in combat and finally it yielded it's clock set, but not without a struggle............
clock set now despatched to sunny Norfolk to (hopefully) have it's errant speedometer repaired.............
and whilst the hammer and chisel were still warm, I removed the rear seat unit in preparation for a deep cleaning session...........
not that it really needs one _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Geekay, many have replaced the stepper motors on those clocks, including me, without much in the way of success. They are not a quality item! I replaced mine with a set of Koso, which have served me well, at not a huge cost. _________________ What, Jonny's gone! |

I would like to keep the standard clocks if possible. I am not a big fan of Koso clocks. but I do have a spare Tesi 1D digital unit on standby.......... _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Nowt wrong with the Koso stuff....albeit a bit low budget....but not really period keeping with the bike.....probably less chance of your Tesi clocks working than the original SB6R ones...teehee |

Your probably better off junking the insides of the speedo and fitting a new unit behind it, keeping the face and needle. Then calibrate it. _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

Think fitting a Koso unit is easier than that option _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.

Shrug ... its not you have to calculate the burn, or limit the impurity, control pitch and yaw and then think of a recovery system _________________ Don't read everything you believe |

I have managed to graft a Triumph Sprint speedo into a Suzuki Katana instrument pod, but there are sod-all electronics involved in that. _________________ Bimota SB6 and Benelli TNT 899S road bikes.
