Hi,

I started the T this morning all ok except the speedo was not reading anything at all, had a fiddle turned her off and on all ok. any ideas why this would happen?

Cheers
 
Italian bikes have many quirks mate. It could have just been tired, or the wrong time of the month for it. Mine is fickle too, past caring about these things now, as long as she goes like **** off a shovel I'm happy
 
any moisture in your clocks recently? :rolleyes

Tifa mine steam up and the main beam comes on (at least the blue on the dash flicks on ) when I give it a some welly (usually around 90mph+ whilst accelerating hard - on a closed private road, with a professionally trained motorcyclist....of course.....ahem). least keeps the tin boxes out of the way
 
if you get excessive moisture in the clocks all sorts of weird **** can happen.

the most common is the indicators having a mind of their own, and comming on when they're switched off...
also, you can get reverse flashing of the tacho/clock (with the ignition in the off position, the tacho needle goes backwards a few mm, and at the same time, the clock flashes off altenately.)

the pcb within the clocks is really sensitive to condensation, usually, the condensate just collects on the inside of the glass, and causes no major issues...but if it gets bad, the pcb starts to become affected.

best cure is to vent the clock casing properly....and conformal coat the pcb on both sides.

these Itallian clocks really are a POS aren't they? :yes
I did hear that Piaggio were going to outsource to India or China for their new units...It'll be nice to have a bit of quality for a change :lol
 
Ive a 2003 tuono n my clocks like to jerk themselves.....ahem ahem.. as in when u connect the battery or she doesnt fire on first push of the starter or if the battery is low n the solenoid gives you the clicking low battery voltage situation, im in damp ireland so I reckon a strip down of da clocks and a day or two on da rad? What about a coat of circuit board lacher on da board only?
