higher Km/h speedo gauge?

[zuma ned]

hi guys, im new here and would just like to thank you for having such a great site.

now, i have a 2001 yamaha zuma and am going to get stage 2 performance plus a malossi un restricted CDI. i was just wondering where i could get a speedo guage that goes over 60km/h. i need km/h as i live in australia.

thanks alot for your time.

There used to be a guy here in the US that sold them, but he has apparently gone out of buisness....

Sorry there are none others I know of...

Hi there Zuma Ned,

I PM'd you a couple of links to a Canadian distributor that has a couple of speedo's in km/h.

[zuma ned]

yea cheers for that jay. what im looking for is a speedo that goes in the stock dash that goes up to 120km/h

[zuma ned]

no links to e-bay please!

just found this. will this work with early model Zuma. i dont mean fit because i can get it to fit, but i mean will i be able to hook everything up to this one and have it all still work.

the thing that might be easier and also cheaper is to use your speedo and just mark all the way up to the speeds you want. jered did this and i am pretty sure that he made a how-to of "how to" make your own. its a cheaper way then buying a new speedo and paying shipping from canada to australia would be really expensive.

um, I did that... with a new speedo... not the stock one... I got a steal on mine for $55 off of ebay...

but that seller was later kicked off of ebay as he opened a eBay second account and was upbidding his auctions (which is fraud) and I posted about it here and the yahoo forum... and with all the complaints, he was banned from ebay, and this forum... not sure about yahoo....

[zuma ned]

do you know if one for 2002-2005 will work. cause if so ive found one.

[XPS1210]

not for the older zuma... they are totally different and will not fit into the "dash" of the old zuma's...

[zuma ned]

oh i dont mean the fitting...thats not a problem, i just need to know if everything will plug in and function properly.

[XPS1210]

sorry I'm not sure...

[zuma ned]

okay then. do you have a name for the guy who used to sell them.

[XPS1210]

nope... I don't know who other then he went bu angelo or something...

No further info available... sorry... I don't email back and forth as his last emails I got were threats... so, sorry I didn't keep his email address...

besides he was not a very honest person to deal with... as he bought them for less then $100 and was trying to get $150-200 for them...


I think he got them from south america if you could work something from a yamaha dealer there... I've torn mine apart trying to find a part number but there is not one listed on it anywhere! I've even had my dealer look at it as I was trying to get a part number to Lennox so he could buy one...

[zuma ned]

are these dash sealed?...cause i was thinking i could get inside, trim the neddle down so it can go round 360 degrees and mark in the speed up to 100mh/k

[XPS1210]

the bug eye zuma is not sealed... I opened mine and snipped the needle so it'd spin 360 before I got the new speedo

[zuma ned]

so doing that does work. depending upon how much these speedos from angelo cost i may just do that mob. by bug eye do you mean pre 2001

[zuma ned]

bro, i would remove that link before a mod beats down on your *** (yeah and bad words!) for it. they have a rule here about posting external links.

anyway, ive already got a digital dash winging its way to me as we speak. its a koso and is completely digital.

[speedy_scooter]

hahaha, those guys arent even in business anymore. they are waaaay overpriced anyways. erich is able to you most of those parts for less.

[zuma ned]

yea, they are aholes as well. man, this koso dash is beatiful...i just got it installed.

[XPS1210]

skull, the owner of the shop mentioned... has always been horrible with people skills, and never stocks anything...

then is rude telling you he doesn't have your parts...

go figure!

Has anybody used a bicycle computer? I have. You can program it for whatever you like, MPH or KMH. It gives you top speed and all kinds of silly stuff. Cheap too. I got pics of mine if interested.
