Has anyone had one of the original dashes apart? Neither the Tacho or speed are working. I have been told that it is common for a diode to come lose inside & I need to carry out some repairs.

They are very prone to loosing 'segments' of the display.
Probably worth speaking to Piero, especially as you have lost both functions.

Is this for an injected or carbureted bike? If it's carbureted, I have two SB8K ecu's apart right now?

I managed to get it apart & a capacitor was lying in the bottom of the dash. I will get a new one & fit it up to see if it solves the problems. Thanks for the Piero tip.
cheers

Shit mate, at this rate we will be able to start a movement in the words of Arlo Guthrie Very Happy
I fitted a new diode so the tacho is going round. Are the tachos very flighty for want of a better word or do I still have a problem? It does read RPM ok once the needle is put back on in the right spot but it does waver around a bit.
Cheers

I have the later one piece led dash....temp is stuck at 40, low fuel light works, but thats only 70miles anyhow, Speedo at 40 varies between 25 and 70, up to a 100 it can read 190.....so, no idea if its cooking itself, or what the real speed is, but the tachos fine so can time gearchanges ok,,,grateful for small mercies... Laughing

I must be the lucky one, mine works perfect! It's a bugger to read in bright sunlight, but that's not a hassle in the UK!!!
