    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My bike has bouncy gauges. What I mean by this is that they rarely ever sit in one spot; they fluctuate back and forth around what the real reading is. I can guestimate what the reading is supposed to be by taking the average of the high and low of where the needle hits but this is just annoying and I would like to fix it. have any of you ever dealt with this problem before?
 
Hi,

1. Use Search Feature.

2. Make sure the cables are well lubed and properly connected.

3. Remove your gauges from the fork.

4.Turn them upside down.

5. Spray a few squirts of your favorite silicone lubricant, household oil, or WD40 into the cable inlets.

6. Reassemble.


Thank you for your induglence,

BassCliff
 
Put a sports bra on them :D. In all serriosness though do as basscliff suggested.
 
Unless you have electric rather than mechanical gauges ...
 
mine did that and i found out the area where the cables went into the gauges at was rounded out. i got a nice newer set (gauges) off ebay and they been working great ever since. my tach gauge was cracked anyways so it served a dual purpose by replacing them.
 
Similar to what BassCliff says.

I have found the speedo and the tack to bounce around when the cable needed to be lubed (or is about to break). Kinda like the cable would bind up a little, then break loose, spin ahead while unwinding, and then start to bind up again, not really stopping, just that its rotation isnt a constant speed. Easyest thing is to squirt some lube down the inside of the cable. Better would be to pull out the cable, clean it up, lube/grease it and put back together. I think I remember that can pull the cable out one way or the other.

Tell us more what you find.
