Anyone know of anywhere that repairs the digital dashes on a VFR800fi? Looking at buying one, and from what I have read the digi dashes fail, one I have looked at which seems to be the best only has one issue.

The clocks have been replaced due to the failure, but whoever replaced it, replaced it with a KM clock with massively less mileage, is there anywhere to get it altered to read roughly what it should read on set it to read in miles?

Bike has 15,000 km on clock, MOT's, service history etc proves (as the garage have said themselves) that the bike is actually close to 30k miles.

It's the flexible PCB connecting everything together that fails, not the dash itself.

You can rewire them if you have the time/inclination. Here's the one off my 750.

That has been done, it has had replacement clocks and they work, just they read that the bike has done 15,000 km, when the bike has actually done 30k miles

I don't see the problem here.

You know what mileage it's done.

Or is the speedo reading in kph too? In which case you can either replace the face or fit a speedo healer.

I would want it to read the correct mileage, if ever sold it I am sure some unscrupulous fellow would wangle it as a low mileage bike, besides I like keeping all service history in order
