Cluster Back light

Recommended Posts

Posted

My speedo cluster back light is flickering off and on anyone else have this issue? hard to see in the day but easy to see when it goes out at night, goes black.

Have not noticed a problem with mine. Definitely sounds like a loose connection at the wiring harness or a bad solder joint on the PCB.

If your bike is under warranty... take it in
and get it diagnosed
it sounds like a loose terminal in the connector for the display or the backlight soldering connection is garbage

ATGATT... ATTATT, two acronyms I live by.

mine is doing it too

I've had wires that weren't strapped down well rub against metal enough it exposed the wires and created a short which made my lights flicker. It's more than likely a bad connection but just in case it isn't.  ;)

There is a thread out there about dealers not routing the cables correctly, I remember changing mine up. Possibly related to that.

Replaced by dealer no questions asked.

Plugging in the cluster is done at each dealer when bike is assembled from the crate. Give the wire harness a light pull and I bet it comes out. Push it back in till it clicks.
