Jordan Mohawk Missiaen Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hi everyone, I have faded and cracked gauge faces on my '76 xs500 and I am wondering if anyone knows how to disassemble them to replace the faces. A how-to guide would be awesome, or a video, or any tips really. Also, does anyone know where to find replacement faces for older yamahas? I've found lots of stuff for hondas, but not yams. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cegan09 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would love to know the same thing. The face on my speedo is loose, so it bounces around and rotates, meaning my speed is constantly bouncing 5mph up and down. From my own investigation, they appear sealed, i don't know that you can open them. I know my buddy's 1975 Kawi's tach can not be opened without ruining it. i know that is another brand, but the sealing job looks similar between his, and the gauges on my xs500. I just bought some smaller gauges off mikesxs that i think i'll like better, but i'd love to have the original ones back to decent shape if i ever put it back to stock.
