Tommy10bikes Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 They can be taken apart with care as you can see with the XT set i have done on another forum. http://www.trailbikeandenduroclassics.com/tommy-s-xt500-75c-t924-60.html I have stripped a set of DT clocks but not had the time to put them together yet, best to is to prise the top retaining ring from the underside of the speedo as rather than risking braking the glass. Good luck TTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy10bikes Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 cheers tommy will give it a go if not will send them to you lol Yes , as you can see you may be waiting a while. Its easy really just take your time in prising the ring open first once you have it nearly there just run a small screwdiver around the edge and given time it should come away.

csl Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Another technique I found that works is to use a dremel to cut a slot in the top retaining ring, you then drill 2 small holes and use a strong wire to hold the 2 sides together. The top rubber hides the repair and it holds well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy10bikes Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 There is a tiny cross head screw which holds the trip knob in place. TTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
