I am about to graft a Digital instrument cluster onto my 99 model XX to replace the analogue one..

I have the cluster and the subloom and I have tested the dash to see how it works and there are a couple of minor wrinkles I need to workout.

1, The tempreture display shows 132C and flashes.
2, The FI light stays on dimly..

The mainloom on the bike is a 99 FI model
The Subloom that I have is for a 03 FI model
The cluster that I have is from an 05 model

There wiring does not appear to be a direct match with the loom connector.

What I need if anyone has it is the wiring diagram from something like a Haynes manual as the wiring diagram for the 99 - 02 Honda manual do not match the color of the wires in the subloom..

Can anyone help.

Thanks

Why are you changing it out? Esthetics? Function? Acuracy? Accident? Sorry, I only know why and I never know how.

I wonder if the Aussie models are different somehow? Maybe you need to look to your local dealer as supposed to an outside source...

More Esthetics and funtion. I have a preference for a digital readout on speed and also have a preference for the positioning of the tachometer in the centre of the cluster.

The tachometer is physically smaller on the analogue cluster too.

This may be the case but I would rather take the easier path to begin with and see the Hayne wiring diagram provides the information that I require.

If the diagram is unavailable or doesnt have the correct colored wiring then I will take more difficult path of trying to get a dealler to compare models...

The Haynes manual has the color diagrams for the various year model and whether it is US or Euro. I can scan a copy if it comes yo that. I realized alll this when I wired my voltmeter and gear indicator in. Let me know how I can assist. I have a scanner right here in the room. // smurf

May i suggest that do one of the following.

A) resign yourself to buy a cluster from honda (in AU thats $1200)
B) resign yourself to having to buy damaged clusters and repairing
C) Collect some rocking horse droppings.
D) Collect some hens teeth
E) Go see Santa Clause.

option C,D,E are all easier than finding a complete undamaged second hand dash. I looked for nearly 2 years and settled on option B.

I will complete a full write up with pics when I have completed the project.

They told him to droppenzie dead? BTW Steve, I can buy the Haynes manual at my local bookstore for 30 bucks.

You will find that is worth every penny (or shilling) that you spent on yours.

Somehow I lost touch with this thread. From the digital voltmeter install I found that the 97-98 are in one wiring group -carb models, the 99-00 in another - moved to FI and then the 2001 up go digital gauges but still retain the analogue tach. . Then it is also split between Euro and US (HISS etc). I think I've seen the Haynes manual for $20 on eBay. Things like the Baro sensor at the rear which is another MAP sensor found on the 2000 and then phased out, etc. Compare that to the shop manual or the pdf and you should be set. hth // smurf
