yogisays09 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Dear Members, Need your help with fixing the LCD issues on my viffer. Here is a pic of the display unit. Please advice if this is fixable. I replaced the illumination bulbs of the unit with LED bulbs. Issue here is the LCD itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jackleftzuo Posted December 26, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 26, 2017 One of my VFR800 5TH friends in China also encountered this problem with LCD. My suggestion is to find professional electronics engineers to repair the electronic market.. Your tachometer is in the Japanese version. The speedometer is in the U.S. version. I wonder if it is just as bad in your country as in China, I also learned a lot in VFRD VFR technical knowledge, and help the Chinese VFR riders, I also created the VFRCHINA organization, professional service China Honda VFR owners, seven years, we've got a lot of progress and development, thank you again for VFRD, VFROWLRD!

yogisays09 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 My VFR800 is a JDM spec which means it was designed to be locked at 180KMPH . Original speedo was 180kmph which was replaced with an US spec speedo MPH which removes fhe restriction on the clocks. On the other hand, there is an Blue orange wire running from the ecm which is being cut to remove the ectronic restriction from tbe ECM. So according to you this LCD is repairable? How did your chinese friend fix this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted December 27, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 27, 2017 That looks like a physical, as opposed to an electronic, problem with the LCD unit. You should be able to buy an LCD unit off eBay and replace yours with it, but the odometer reading would show whatever the donor bike had done. I've heard of people being able to reset the odometer on these, but the only guy I knew who could do this unfortunately died several years ago. One of my repeating eBay searches is for RC46-I instruments, and I do sometimes see the LCD units being sold separately. Or just PM me your address. I think I have a spare MPH one if that will work for you. I don't know the mileage reading, because it was not taken off of my bike. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogisays09 Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Dear John and other members, can you pls help me checking the attached photo and tell me what kind of device has been spliced to the speedo sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That looks like a gear indicator. I could be wrong. Someone that knows what they are talking about will be along shortly to let you know. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFROZ Posted January 7, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2018 It could be a flux capacitor, but more likely a speedo healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted January 7, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, the DIP switches are typical of a "speedo healer" or calibrator type device. I've not seen that particular model before, but as your bike is a JDM bike, it may have been made by M-Max or another of the Japanese firms.

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted January 9, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2018 Speedo adjuster = Yes, BUT is it an accurisor as in speedo healer ? or a Fixer as in designed to fool the ECU about bike speed to beeat the JDM 180K limit ?

Member Contributer JZH Posted January 9, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2018 Possibly the latter, but why would they need DIP switches to do that? (The LCD is on its way, Yogi.) Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao, Thanks a lot John for the LCD, really appreciate your help. To clear the confusion the speedo sensor thing, last time my VFR threw an error code for the speed sensor after which i cleaned it and reinstalled. Worked fine there after but i ordered a used sensor for bad times and the used one came with this adapter kind of thing. I did not knew what this extra attachment was until i received the sensor today. Here is the clear pic of the adapter and I still dont have any idea what this thing is. Can you pls help identifying what this thing is. There are no stickers nothing no brand name on this black box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogisays09 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Okay gents, after a lot of scratching google b@lls , found out what this thing is. its a speedo calibrator from Yellr.

yogisays09 Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Did some DiY on the old LCD unit. Seems like water damage. The glass of the lcd is very sharp at the edge and it deep cut my finger. the bottom polarization film is busted and i am planning to use film from a samsung phone. Lets see how it works. I was expecting the top film to be bad but that was absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
