Speedo switch

« on: May 21, 2011, 03:34:47 PM »

Hey there,
I'm Andrew from Germany and I just bought my first bike - a CB-1. I'm pretty happy so far (only need my licence now ;-) )
but this model has a mp/h speedo and since this is my first bike I don't want so "calculate" my speed all the time while I'm riding. So I wanted to ask you guys if anyone of you would like to swap his or her km/h speedo with mine.
BUT: I honestly don't have any clue how to remove or install the speedo so who ever wants to swap should be able to tell me how to do it.
I'm in the German CB-1 forum as well, but you can pm or repost here or the German forum.

PS: Is it possible to change the miles already driven with the bike? Don't know how to explain it in English properly...
Right now I got a little over 21k miles on the speedo - is it possible to screw (or what the word is) the speedo to the same amount in km? And will the km-speedo then show me "real" km on the trip counter? Or will it keep counting in miles and just show me km? EDITH: After reading this again I feel kinda stupid - I don´t want to cheat the counter!! I want to "convert" the miles into kilometers. I hope no one got me wrong and thought I wanted to cheat... Sorry for my English. If a_morty could have a look on this I would be glad.

@Morty: Ich will fragen ob es möglich ist die miles die das Bike schon drauf hat auf dem KM-Tacho in KM anzeigen zu lassen. Also die Meilen in KM umrechnen, dass dann anzeigen lassen und anschließend auch normal weiterlaufen zu lassen - in KM-Schritten, nicht in Meilen-Schritten. Fuck, selbst auf deutsch ist das scheisse zu erklären ;-)

Thanks in advance

Larnius

Hey Guys , i think you don't mind when i reply to him in german.

Moin Larius, das ist ein ganz normaler analoger Tacho. Wenn du das Gehäuse aufmachst, kannst du mit einem Schraubendreher und etwas Gefühl die Räder wo die ml oder km drauf stehen auseinanderhebeln und die entsprechende Laufleistung einstellen. Die Umrechnung ml zu km ist ungefähr 1ml zu 1,6km.

Also km Tacho bekommen, Laufleistung einstellen, freuen. Irgendwelche Zahnräder müssen noch getauscht werden. Hier und im dt. Forum gibt es direkt ein Tacho-Tausch-Thema. Schau da mal rein.

MfG
Falk

ahh and welcome to the Board.

Oh, that is really kind but since this guy didn´t answer I just ordered these paper things for my speedo.
But thanks a lot for the offer!

I have a Mp/h speedo I got from a_morti which hasn't been fitted yet. When I get round to fitting it (hopefully before too long) I'll happily send my K/ph one to you for what I paid for mine (not much) +p&p.
