Speed Triple Speedo Needle

Hi,

The speedo needle on my Speed Triple has snapped off. The snapped-off bit is sitting where I can see it but I don't know if I can prise off the glass to get to it without breaking the whole thing. Anybody else had this issue?

Which year bike are we talking about?

For the later 955 and maybe others, the clocks need to come off the bike, placed face down, unscrew the back of the clocks to split them and then use cable ties either side of the needle to pull it off. You can then put a needle of your choice on. Just check that it's on in the right place. Laughing

For other years I'm not entirely sure as I've not seen the clocks, let alone replaced parts.
