Enduro Versus Trials Speedo Cluster.....

[sevenfourate]

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

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.

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.
