Malayola Posted April 9, 2019 Hello, before creating a new topic, I did a search without success. My 2015 EXC-F 250's dashboard is not fully working, when I bought the bike (used) I noticed that the dashboard came on upon starting the bike, but I never noticed it never tracked speed or nothing; the troubleshooting started by checking the wiring from the power but since it turned on upon starting the bike, that was checked off; next I replaced the battery in the module, checked off but still no solution; after consultation I was told that the cable/sensor tends to fail in KTMs so I replaced the entire cable and wheel magnet; it didn't work, so before having to replace the module, can I get more suggestions on possible solutions? thanks.

bradluke0 Posted April 10, 2019 My 350 just did the same thing and it was the battery . Are you sure you removed the little plastic sticky thingy from the battery? If you don't look for it , it looks like part of the battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travertt Posted April 10, 2019 Sometimes those speedo batteries need to have a thin shim place behind them so they make better and more consistent contact. Give it a try, the shim does not need to be very thick. Several people on this forum have solved battery issues just by shimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spud786 Posted April 10, 2019 replace the module, about $135 online your issue is not battery related, and you already replaced the wiring cable and speedo magnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done that, the battery is working, but once you crank the bike then the big battery takes over, but after a few second the module turns dark, like in stand by. Thinks is the module now. thanks 3 hours ago, Spud786 said: replace the module, about $135 online your issue is not battery related, and you already replaced the wiring cable and speedo magnet perhaps an upgrade? what do you recommend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then went right back to oem. Can you get a better one, for $135? Me Id just get a new oem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malayola Posted April 11, 2019 Could it be that the speedometer cable is connected to the wrong port? The part's drawing shows four connector port, two large and two small ones; maybe that's the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedo, odo, and clock are always fed by the internal battery. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
