I'm back and better than ever! And So is my bike now, with a brand new sleek modern digital instrument cluster setup! In this video I convert my bikes gauges from analog to digital. If you have any questions on how to do this, please don't hesitate to ask them in the comments section!
The speedometer I installed in the video:

Use 2 magnets. Mount first magnet, mark tire directly under it, mark floor, push bike forward one revolution, mark floor again, measure back exactly halfway between the 2 floor marks, push bike back to the center mark, mount 2nd magnet across from the first one that is now opposite of the center mark. Go to speedometer menu, input the measurement from 1st floor mark to 2nd floor mark, divide that number by the amount of magnets which is 2, and you should have the right mph reading on the gauge without having to do a bunch of math wheel measurements and riding around the neighborhood to dial it in. Ride safe!

i have no idea if you still read these comments but thanks for this video. It inspired me 2 years ago to convert a gs500 2004 to digital. sadly someone hit me and wrecked it. weeks ago 1 got a new gs500 1995 which has a physical tacho cable. thanks to revisiting this video i found that i could hook the tacho wire up to the green/white cable and its just perfect now. it might be 3 years later but your video still has an impact.

I'm about to try an convert my 06 Gs500. Are there any issues or problems you ran into? My main concerns are proper mount location for the speed sensor as well as the best way to mount the actual unit to the bike.

@TheRedstonelabz1 Жыл бұрын

@@Tugoose nope not really mounting it was a mather of making a plate with the correct holes that mounts to the original holes with rubbers. The speed sensor mounted on the end of the mechanical speedo cable with a 3d printed part and it is hidden away behind the headlight.

@Tugoose Жыл бұрын

@@TheRedstonelabz1 as in mounted to the Speedo cable near the wheel or the actual mechanism? I assume the cable would move a bit causing discrepancies at speed no?

@TheRedstonelabz1 Жыл бұрын

@@Tugoose the original cable is still in place. I 3d printed a little cover for the open end and added a rotor mounted on a bearing that spins when the cable spins. On that rotor is 2 magnets that get detected by my speed sensor. Then you just have to set the correct value in the display and it is super accurate.

Looks are deceiving.... He got lucky with that one connector that just happened to have wires in the right place. I have the same exact connector on my bike but I had to rearrange the wires to power it on. If I plugged it in without checking it would've fried it before it had a chance to work. The positive and ground were directly swapped..

Thanks guys awesome video and comment tips. I am working on a bunch of upgrades for my bike and this is one of them. My cluster is different but will still have to be a whole custom made thing but I’m excited. No more rusty old gauges. Digital will be awesome for 2002 carb bike. I already removed rusty tank and put a drag tank on the back with stainless steel fuel lines and a manifold for the carb and swapped to cv40 carb vs the Vulcan 750 stock carb. Supper easy to tune on the fly with the ez adjust quick screws. I also want to put some saddle bags on for my rigging gear and make it my work bike.

Thanks for sharing. My bike just had a broken speedometer/dash lcd from condensation. And its a 2nd one now. And the oem even though easy to install and takes literally 10 minutes, it is hell'a expensive vs the one you are using which is rebranded as Zaddox in the UK. The wiring is the one I am trying to find a guide for as the wires on that speedo is completely different from my Yamaha OEM's.

Your Tacho has different modes for different number of fired coils. Will need to tell it your bike is a 4cyl, generally they come setup for single\twin from the factory.

@GAS-OR-ASS Жыл бұрын

The circumference you need to import is the circumference of your front tire and not the distance from the magnet. When your wheel registers a full rotation ( magnet passes the sensor ) it registers a cycle. A cycle without knowledge of the circumference for your tach is useless. It counts cycles and multiplies it times the circumference of the front tire. (You may got it right but i heard you saying about magnet distance measurement). Great video and very nice touch on the bike
