macguzzi Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 How do you remove the tacho reset button, does it unscrew, manual not clear on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'm thinking you're speaking of the reset knob for the trip odometer? It does unscrew. In fact it will sometimes unscrew without asking you and cast itself to the wind. To avoid this, I resorted to a little blue Loctite and a slice through the rubber gasket for removal. Headed into the speedo for a look around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think it varies by model years. Docc's and mine are reversed threaded on. So, whenever we reset our trip meter, we should turn it counter-clockwise. I turn it to zero twice, just to make sure it tightens it. I am not sure about the 2003 models...

docc Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Er, so it is. The early bikes have the white faced Veglias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to replace one of the consol bulbs but the allen bolts in it just turn and turn. So i presume access is from the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have an 04 LeMans and discovered that the trip meter knob is held in place via a tiny phillips head screw (lefty loosy, righty tighty). If you look closely you can see it with flashlight. Rocketman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dials are easier to read now tho. but I also notice it dims more when the revs drop eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stewart Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 The problem was that the little odometer screw fell out and then the knob broke. No one at the time knew what size the little odometer screw was so I took measurements from the odometer shaft and machined a reset knob out of aluminum. I got lucky and had a numbered drill bit that was with in .001" of the shaft. Since I had no screw, I put a drop of red loctite on the shaft and pushed on the new knob. Has been good for the last 6000 miles. I just hope I never have to take it off. I did a search and found the picture: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...pe=post&id=2520 Mike Is it a easy fix Mike 74802[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javahouse Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi Guys I have a 2006 Ballabio, and just fitted a new speedo. The new speedo has a male thread on the reset. Does anyone know whether the knobs are available as spares, or does anyone know the thread? Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
