Loose Gauge Cluster?

jonb08 · April 4th, 2009, 03:24 PM

The other day I was riding home and I noticed that my gauge cluster was moving around allot. When I got home, I looked at it and saw that the gauge cluster is attached on the left side but not the right side. Is there a mounting point on the right side or middle for our gauge cluster and maybe it was shaken loose?

DAMNIT I PUT THIS IN THE 08 Farkles!!!!!

i have an '03, and in the manual there's two mounting nuts on the top and bottom left side, and one on the middle, right side. (looking at the inst. cluster from the seat) the upper fairing, headlight and speedo cable need to be removed.
then there's 4 cover mounting screws holding the cover (that black part of the cluster) to the rest of the assembly.

Greeeat. So it did shake loose. That thing is really shaking around there. It makes the bike look like a Harley with all that vibration. It'll be my first time taking off the front fairing... Thanks Komo!!

I didn't check as well as Steve, but I grabbed the cluster and try to shake it.
Nooo. Very sturdy and hardly any movement.
Also tried to find a diagram at ron ayer's and could not find it.
