Silly question, but is the Savage dash lit?
12/29/12 at 17:52:41
While I am prettying up Aida's bike I started to wonder. I know the spedo does not have a trip odometer, but does it have lights? Her bike has never had them, and I wonder if I have another project...

They are from the factory, but I've never seen one on the road that the speedo light worked

So is it worth trying to fix?

Fix? You're just replacing a bulb.

Yes my instrument light is still working after 12000 plus miles. Since you will have to remove the tank to replace the bulb be careful how you route the speedo cable when you replace the tank.

They are easy to replace, just pull the tank and from the back of the speedometer pull the cover where the bulb goes in. I pulled the old one out and got a new one from O'Riley auto parts. I was able to get a replacemt bulb and installed it back without any issues, everything works fine. My 1995 has all the backlight lights ont he speedometer working fine.

If they are all out,check the plug under the tank.Savages are good for those plugs to come undone.

As I stated above my speedo light is out,all the indicator lights work. I've been reluctant to pull the tank due to the clearance issue with the vac-sucker petcock. Figure when I do go there I'll set up a series of resistors and LED bulb and that should last the life of the bike.

Thanks guys. All the indicator lights work fine, it is just not backlit. But since I have to fully pull the tank, I am going to replace the petcock while I am at it. Anyone know who has Raptor Petcocks cheap?

Pulling the tank is easy if you remove the vac-sucker before pulling it off the frame. Can't have clearance issues if the petcock isn't there.
