Trip Meter Odometer Repair - 83 1100E -

[Gregory]

I lucked into a set of 83 gauges to go on my 82 1100e .. the faux skunk... so now I can now go 140 mph.

Anyway, the trip meter doesnt work on it. Neither does the set that was on my 82, or the set on my friends 82, or on the spare 82 set I bought off of ebay.

Is there a repair out there for these obviously defective trip meters?

I think they just get dirty. The gauges come all apart. Take a few pictures so you remember how to get it back together.

The trip rest is a button with a spring in the front face portion of the housing. There is a lever on the Speedo that pushes some gears to do the reset.

Thanks Posplayr,

Well I think I may have lucked out. I went ahead and installed the gauges, and the trip meter did re-set to zero's this time.

I will have to ride it when we get some good weather to see if it ends up working right. Fingers crossed about that and especially whether or not the speedo works as it should. The tachometer is a little stuck until i rev it the first time, then it bounces up and works as it should.

Spray some lube down the rest knob shaft...cant hurt anything.

Will do for sure!
