The numerical gear selector indicator display is quite small and not nearly as prominent as it often appears on other motorcycle instrument panels. The fact that it appears to work out of the box is an added bonus.
Re: CF650TR instrument panel
Great post BikerDoc good to hear all works well, yes it's a shame the gear indicator are small but better then northing, I am sure many people will ask how much and can I get one in my country???
Re: CF650TR instrument panel
Looks like a fairly easy improvement. Good to see it is compatible..
Re: CF650TR instrument panel
Hi there
I'm considering ordering one of these, how easy it it to disassemble and disconnect the abs light?
Thanks

Re: CF650TR instrument panel
To fit the instrument panel/console requires removal of the screen (8 bolts), removal of the underlying plastic panel beneath the screen (push-pin fasteners & screws), remove the existing instrument panel and disconnection of the wiring harness.
I didn't bother with disconnecting the ABS light as it's not that bright and consequently I've not found it a distraction while riding.

Hi there
Ahh ok, well, I'd have to disconnect the ABS light, as any warning light on the dashboard is an MOT fail here in the UK, and hence would then be illegal to ride on the road.
MJH, perhaps just as well I'm not based in the States then :-) I always thought their main push in the US was their ATV's anyhow??

When you have worked it out? which could mean you need to take the back off and disconnect the ABS light somehow you can kindly post here if it was me I would be getting some black tape or some paint or better still find a more friendly MOT tester?

Even with a bike that dont have ABS ?
Re: CF650TR instrument panel
Hi Yep, even if it doesn't have ABS
Any warning light is a fail, I cam a cropper to that a couple of years ago with my car, to fix it, was over £600.00, only for the same thing to happen a couple of months later. Needless to say, I didn't retain ownership of the car much after that.
I have a friendly MOT tester for my bikes, but unfortunately he wouldn't risk his license to MOT, I remember he had to jump through hoops, metaphorically speaking to become a certified MOT testing station.
I might see how my first experience of buying through a tabao agaent goes, before I try ordering a new dashboard.
