So my odometer has worked a bit on and off since I bought my zed, then it stopped turning alltogether. I assumed it might have something to do with the mph to kmph conversion so I took the clocks apart and have removed the little device. It still didn't work so I took the odo out and found that part of the trip meter was broken and was jamming the mechanism. I have now essentially disconnected the trip meter by filing off the teeth which mesh with the mechanism. But the odo still doesn't work.

 

I'm thinking maybe the motor has given up the ghost because it's been jammed up? Or maybe in removing the conversion I have missed something out..?

 

Here's a pic of the back of the clocks. I have the odo removed here.

 

Any help would be appreciated..

 

The odometer sounds like it has had it, i have a few knocking around you could have but im away tomorrow on holiday for 2 weeks, but im sure someone will have one going spare, the mileage can be changed to match, but for obvious reasons i cant say how on open forum :biggrin:

 

Grit has played it part in the past for odometer failure, broken cogs wont have helped, it also takes its feed via the speedo, so if the speedo is working then so should the odometer

OK cheers for the help. I was unsure cus I assumed they'd be pretty bomb proof. The motor does feel a little rough when you spin it.. The odometer it's self seems to work fine if you wind it by hand. I wonder if a breaker will break me an odometer motor :p lol.
