VDU Display

[Rick 1600]

Just went out to put the bike away and the VDU display is lit up but no temperature or fuel gauge reading? Any ideas?

 

[vilguy]

its cold and your almost out of fuel?

If its on its sidestand itll show several fuel bars less than if its on its centrestand which might be enough for it to read zero

 

[Rick 1600]

Er, nope.....Good thinkin though. Try again?

 

[Rick 1600]

Tanks full though...

Mine did just the same when the battery started gettin dodgy, all was resumed when I got a new Odyssey one fitted, but hey, what do I know, it could be something else

 

[Rick 1600]

New battery and starter a 1000 miles ago...

 

[vilguy]

i just went out and tried loads of different things to replicate yours but couldnt get it too.

do you use it regular? 1000 miles is a couple of years in some peoples books.

 

[Rick 1600]

I use it every day. It was ok on the way home from work. Now it aint! Cheers for having a look for me though. The gear position has gone out too...

Gremlins....

 

[vilguy]

my gpi is all to cock at the minute at the mo too. I keep meaning to get under there and rip the sensor out for a good clean but just havent been arsed to be honest.

Mine thinks im always in 5th. bloody thing

and my oil temp goes...1..2... zilch... eh?

 

[Rick 1600]

Yeah, my gear position on blink too. It never shows the right gear but it usually shows something. Bike's starting with no problems, just cant figure what it can be. Its like its all on a fuse but cant be.

Is the engine kill switch in the right position ? I think the display goes blank if it is set to off.

Do you have HID Ballasts under the instrument cover? These occasionally cause the display to go haywire. If so, move them to under the beak.

i have this problem now and again i just pull the fuse and put back in and all is good

 

[Rick 1600]

Ok, guys. Thanks for the help. Its still all blank, Ive wiggled the fuse, the wires, everything.... I'll have a look at those ballast thingy's when I get a chance.

 

[Rick 1600]

VDU is now working again. I removed it from the bike to check the wiring. That was ok. By accident I squeezed it and....it all came back on...not gone off since.
