Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your speedometer.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display not turning on | No power supply; Loose wiring connection; Blown fuse. | Check power connections (Black wire for positive, Green for negative). Ensure all wires are securely connected. Inspect motorcycle's fuse box for a blown fuse and replace if necessary. |
| Inaccurate speed/odometer reading | Incorrect wheel circumference setting; Faulty speed sensor connection; Sensor not properly installed. | Verify the wheel circumference setting in the speedometer's menu (refer to product-specific instructions). Check the Blue/White speed line connection. Ensure the speed sensor is clean and correctly positioned. |
| Tachometer not working | Incorrect RPM signal connection; Engine type setting incorrect. | Ensure the Red speed signal line is correctly connected to the ignition coil or relevant RPM signal source. Check the engine cylinder/stroke setting in the speedometer's configuration. |
| Fuel gauge blinking/inaccurate | No fuel sender connected; Incompatible fuel sender; Faulty wiring. | Ensure the Yellow/White oil quantity signal wire is correctly connected to a compatible fuel sender unit. If no sender is present, the gauge may blink. Check for any breaks or shorts in the wiring. |
