CLock/Speedo unit not working

[cladoo]

I have had two of these, one on my '06 and one on my '07. They keep data stored, like total hours, total mileage, rpm max, speed max. I would just like to know how and how to zero it (reset)!

How about here....somewhere..

Don't know the model # of your unit.
Hope this helps. Sorry if it does not.
Cheers, Jeff

It is this modelhttp://www.acewell-meter.com/images/V1manual.pdf
The manual says that it records Total Time from when the bike is first started . It also says that Total Time, ODO and clock cannot be reset. That kinda sucks if you are moving it to another bike! I don't see the need to have a 9v battery then.

It gets it's power from the motorcycle or from an add-on 9V battery.
This this post for a discussion on how to attach the add-on 9V battery.

-------------------
This is the type of speedo I was talking about with the other type
of batteries mounted in the back.

The top one is the older style from around 2002. The lower one came with,
(I beleive) the 2003-2006 models. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I was asking in that earlier post how to hook up the newer, 2002, to a wiring
harness set up for the older round gage style. I never got an answer.
I now have a fancy clock on my EC300 with no other functions.
I did pick up one of the newer AceWell gages a couple months ago. I may
try and mount that one and see if I can get it to work.
Best of luck, Jeff

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I have just bought an 04 FSE 400 but have the clocks with round face from older model 2002 attached. Do you know whether the 2003-2006 model clocks are pretty much plug and play with the older style loom? I may have the chance to buy some newer ones - just wondering it is an easy install!?

Thanks
Luke

Don't bother.Life's too short to waste on details like this that won't work.I have all three models thrown in a bucket with all the other non essnential crap you don't need.
The first model's face and buttons fall in,hard to read and batteries go flat.
The second is better but 9v bat goes flat.
The big screen one is ok but speedo calibration is way out and is cursed with fine and finicky wiring.
They're all prone to have the speed sensor wire being bashed and ripped in rock gardens.The rear mounted ones were even worse.
Just fit a small self powered hour meter ala ktm = trouble free.

This was the thread where I was asking for help wiring the
newer rectangle speedo to the wiring harness for the older
round face gages.

Never did get an answer, nor did I ever get it figured out
on my own. I still have a nice fancy clock with no other
functions on my handlebars. I guess I never really needed
it anyway.

Mine is dual purpose, so having a working speedo is sort of useful! Besides, looking at the pics in slocalspode's post, the square clocks are mounted a lot higher. My round ones are level with the top yoke, which makes getting the key in and even reading the things a b!tch because of the numberboard fairing. Even if I swap, just to raise them up 2 inches - I'll take that! Out of interest - how long should the batteries last in the round clocks?

Thanks for the link. I'll keep that in mind. At the moment my clocks work intermittently. I swapped out the batteries and this morning everything was working fine. Then the light started flickering again and eventually everything when dead. I'm hoping it's just the vibes and some intermittent wiring connection. In it's current state, if I swap out the clocks, at the very least it'll make the key easier to get in!
