Newbie with speedo problems - Brainless - 13-08-16
Hi,
I'm from Southampton and I have a 2008 gen 2 fz1s which was an import from the states. i have had the bike for 6 years and it's been brilliant we have been to loads of places in Europe. Just recently though I have had problems with the clocks switching off. After a while they come back on again. I have followed the wiring diagrams on UK bikes (can't find US version) but still can't find the cure. I am suspicious of the condition of my battery and I will probably replace this but other than that it's new clocks. If any one has any ideas or has heard of this happening I would appreciate some help.
It's a cracking bike though.

Unlikely to be the battery at fault.
I would start by checking all the connections in the plugs (in the back of the clocks and where it connects to the loom) and cleaning them up.

Thanks for your help. I have taken the clocks out of the bike and given them a good spray with contact cleaner. There are two supplies to the clocks and two earths. I reckon it's either one of the earths with a high resistance or the clock module itself. I could do with borrowing a clock and trying it out.
