Guest Paul67 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 My regulator got fried and took a few things with it. Looks like I have everything back to normal except my speedo unit needs to be replaced. Im not having an easy time tracking one down. Struck out on kijiji and ebay. It has a mph one on there now but would prefer a kph replacement since I live in Canada. Was also curious if my total kilometers would be reset when I put a new unit in? Thanks in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 If you get a new LCD unit, it will show whatever miles or kilometers were on it when taken off the donor bike. There is a fellow on the UKvfr forum who can re-jig the odometer to read the correct miles/klicks on your bike. He can also convert your LCD to show either miles or klicks, no matter the country of origin. I forget his screen name. Ask around. Maybe JZH would know, as he spends some time over there: http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh and to expand your search, you can use 1998 to 2001 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted July 22, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted July 22, 2012 I know who you mean, but he's no longer on that site. His name is Dave (formerly "greenvfr"), but come to think of it I think I last saw him a few years ago on VFRD! It was in a thread about the A&A kit on a 5th-gen (I think he installed one of the first ones in the UK--sadly, not for himself, but for someone else). Finally, I don't know if he still does odometer correction, but it's worth asking him if you can track him down! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Here he is, his email is on his profile. Thanks JZH! http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/user/18477-greenvfr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiKenG Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Since this topic is so appropriate, I thought I'd carry on here rather than start a new one. I'm putting together a bike with a dash from another so the odometer reading will be wrong. Therefore I'm looking for someone who can correct the mileage for a set of 6th Gen gauges. I found this thread and had a look at greenvfr's profile, but no email. I've sent a pm but as he's not visited the site in 5 years I suspect he won't receive it. Anyone got better contact details for him and/or suggest anyone else in the UK who could do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted December 5, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 5, 2017 Unfortunately, Dave is no longer with us. I don't know of anyone who can do it, but it is evidently not impossible. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
