Enduro Versus Trials Speedo Cluster.....
 

When i bought my 2006 EC 250 a few months ago i knew the speedo cluster, rev-counter etc "had a life of its own" and wasnt working properly !

Rather than fit a Trail-Tech etc i wanted to wait unti an original working unit became available.

So now one has, but its advertised as from a Trails machine as opposed to being from an Enduro bike.

Is it likely to still 'fit' (Bar the fact i may need to make a new bracket) ? Will it not be a simple plug-n-play swap over ? Is the wiring completely different or am i just overthinking this one......

Thoughts appreciated :)

So no-one knows. Or perhaps no-one cares.....

Or maybe I've just alerted the GasGas World to a possible cheap Brand New speedo and your all going to keep quiet, but then out-bid me :D

I imagine no one knows. I am trying to learn and share as much as I can about the electrical system on these bikes but have zero experience with the OEM speedo's. Mine didn't have one on it when I bought it. I went with a TrailTech model for my bike.

Good luck and let us know how it works.

Yea i will buddy.

Im deffo going to win it and give it a go i think !

I'll be sure to let the GG World how it ends.......

That is an Acewell model. GasGas used them for like one year then switched tot he TrailTechs.

Well - GREAT news.....im soooo chuffed !

The BRAND NEW and UNUSED trials unit i 'stole' from ebay for a measy GBP21 ($35) had a slightly different code / part number on the back - but the wiring was all the same and it fired straight up and all seems to work perfectly.

Rev-counter good, speedo registers and works when i spin the wheel round and ive figured out how to enter in the time, wheel circumference etc etc

My only "issue" is the speedo-head doesnt seem to hold the data (Well certainly not the time), when i turned off the bike and then fired it back up again.



Is there a re-chargeable battery in there somewhere that will charge-up once i go for a ride, or is there a battery in there i need to replace or............??

Mine is the older style & has a 9v battery inside.


2004 EC 200

There is a couple of screws on the sides / wings behind where the indicator lights are - i'll have a look and investigate on the old speedo after dinner !

I did just fire the bike up again though, and its JUST the time that isnt stored. Wheel circumference, rev-counter settings, MPH etc are all 'remembered'.......

Cheers.

There must be a battery somewhere. You may be able to get a manual on the Acewell site too.

Thankyou.

I'll look porperly when ive had my Steak :-)

Acewell model 83XX series looks closest on their website........ Cant see any mention of a battery yet mind.

Still - ive got an avenue to investigate !

Mine takes an external 9v battery. I got the battery holder and connector fron Radio Shack.

Let me know if you can't find the manual. I think I have a PDF version.

You can store read only data with flash memory (example: NAND or NOR logic gate) but to have an active function like a clock, you have to have a power supply of some type.

.....which is why i thought the unit might / must feature a battery of some sort :)

But it seems only GasGas could fit a set of clocks on which some of the features never worked right from the factory ;) :rolleyes:

Exactly :D .

Are all Gas Gas Speedo rubbish?? I've a 2003 EC300 and the clocks never worked in the time I had it. Lately I've decided that I want to use it on the road and have fixed all the lights and was wondering about the speedo.

Can they be fixed, or should I just go for an after market set, something like in the link below. Are there any of the after market sets better than others.

What do you guys recommend...

Can't go wrong with anything from trail tech. I have the voyager gps and it works great.

I finally go around to buying a speedo for the bike and ended up with a Trail Tech Vapor, however the instructions talks about connecting it to a 12 volt supply but as my bike (2003 EC300) doesn't have a battery where should I connect it to??

Plus, I bought the device of ebay and it didn't have have any of the cables with it, so any advice on where to get the cable I need?? As far as I know I need one for the temp, one for the rev counter and obviously one for the speed and a magnet for the brake disc...
