Speedo light (Read 173 times)

88pagan Full Member Offline God is just an imaginary friend for adults.. Posts: 237 Norco, California Gender:	Speedo light 07/24/08 at 01:21:21 Maybe this is a stupid question but are our Savages really missing a backlight in the speedo?? or is mine just out. If there isn't one hiding in there, has anyone figured out a mod before I start tinkering with mine?

Simple fix...drain tank, remove seat, remove tank, turn upside-down...look for bulb hold in center bottom of speedo assembly, pullsaid bulb out, change bulb, reverse process.

Any chance anyone knows the bulb so I can pick it up on the way home from work today? Would like to only have to take the bike apart once. thanks

This is a good source: www.superbrightleds.com I used them to replace all the panel lights on my TW-200, including the high-beam indicator lamp which is notorious for burning out on that bike. So far the led replacement is hanging in there.

Just pulled the tank and it does say 1.7w... going to grab some bulbs tomorrow. Another question though, anyone know what that indicator is for to the right of the neutral light?

And on the bottom is green neutral on bottom left and something that never lights up on the bottom right.

I just went out and looked again and it's a dead indicator sooo..now I've just got to think of a reason to put a light there. Maybe there's something here in the forums

Charon Serious Thumper Offline Posts: 1811 Harvard, NE Gender:	Re: Speedo light Reply #12 - 07/26/08 at 12:36:34 I think the unused indicator was indeed a warning light for the sidestand on the models from about '86 to '88. Those would be the ones with the four-speed transmissions. When they came back in '95 or '96 a warning light wasn't enough to keep Suzuki's corporate attorneys happy.
