tats y need the voltmeter.

 

bro u connect striaght to the battery n switch or else where?

how u connect

 

somewhere in the headlight.

voltmeter lights up but the arrow doesn't move at all

 

Looks like the induction coil or the mini circuitry board is gone...no point repairing as it cost just as much to get a new one. You might end up paying more after replacing the cct board to find that it still not working. I have yet to know anyone selling induction coil anyway..moreover, varies with brands.

 

This damage is likely caused by exposure to heat from the sun. The heat inside the meter housing would be very torturing to the circuitry baord (becomes britter) and small components. Also overnight exposure and due to cooling, condensation takes place internally. Day to day and after a period of time..sooner or later something gonna give. Advise is to have this meter "sheltered" from external element like in a car...or unless you can get your hand on a "mil-Spec" one that is more reliable and build for open exposure.

 

Digital unit would be more prone to damage than analog ones. May be, this is the reason why bike manufactural don't do it for bikes unless it's build in and under cowlings.

i read from somewhere that if if the speedo and tacho dun go one full round (or more than one round) means batt low liaoz rite???

Also, low batt have symtoms like dim headlight and etc rite?? If yes then we can judge the status of the batt in this way mah. Many cases of ppl stealing voltmeter.

how u connect

 

i already have those analog type so i just cut the wire and connect the digital volt meter

you can use silicon tape or duck tape or pvc tape to tape around the casing to prevent water slipping through...

then use 3M velco and stick the meter onto the bracket of the analog meter

 

turbocharge: thanks! everyone can own one only $29.90.....

i think cannot ba.......

cause this meter need some thing to hang it on if not it will move around

tats why i put a 3m velco and stick to the bracket of my old analog meter...

or maybe you can custom make a small bracket for it?

for me this speed quite stable cause i heavy weight then the bike stick more to the ground

this one gd velco its 3M brand... i saw those sports bike using the headlight protector also use this velco to paste them.
