So I spent all day, from time I got up till 19:00 fitting my dash. That is 6h in total. Not bad
However encountered couple of issues:
1. Neutral light - Dash is taking 12V from loom and is expecting the neutral switch to cut the earth to switch off the light while Ducati switch cuts the 12V supply as entire engine is earthed. Are there switches I can use that are isolated from engine and have two wires 12V supply and earth?
2. Similar problem with fuel sensor. Now that is not of major issue as I can get a orange LED fitted somewhere and be ok but as dash has a proper fuel indicator (100% to 10%) I would want to use it. Can I fit a aftermarket fuel sensor and how hard is it to fit?
3. My tacho is as crazy as the old one. We were thinking that the old LED Corse one was just broken as entire electrics were changed and it was still doing that but now I know it is not the case.
Any ideas why my tacho is surging at idle or constant throttle? If I accelerate it does that very very raley but at constant throttle, slowing down or idle it surges randomly by 1k RPM.
4. Speedo is way off but that is my setup vs not clear manual. The sircumferance is correct but the other setting is not how many gaps there are to full rotation as when I set it up it was showing 50 at about 30.
