How to remove your clock panel on the Mk2 CBR1000F (89-91)
Later models may vary slightly.

1 Remove the panels covering your fuse box and radiator cap 3 screws each. (Pic 1)
2 Under the fuse and radiator panels, you will see screws securing the windscreen infill panel. Remove them . 1 screw per side (pic 1)
3 Remove the screws holding the screen/instrument infill panel (Pic 2)
4 Remove the infill panel (may require some "jiggling and bar movement, but comes out) (Pic 3)
5 There are two connector blocks for the gauge panel, located under the right radiator panel - disconnect them (one black, one red) Pics 4 , 5 and 9)
6 Pic of infill panel removed (Pic 6)
7 Remove the bolts securing the gauge panel to the fairing frame, don't lose the rubber grommets ! (Pic 7and Cool
8 Remove speedo cable (Pic 10)
9 Lift gauge cluster out of the frame.

Done !

Replace in reverse order. Don't overtighten bolts on gauge cluster or you may break plastic lugs !

Bulb holders can be clearly seen.
Remember - These bikes take Honda bulbs which have different "lugs" to std bulbs !
Either use Honda bulbs (expensive) or buy adapter rings on e-Bay Motors, or just trim the tabs on std bulbs - the spring will hold them in place anyway.

 

Hey Shadow...

I'm afraid i'm going to have to charge you royalties on the 'Hurricanes' logo you seem to have "borrowed" from our Super 14 team.....


LOL.......

 

No probs, Bazman.....................
Guilty as charged !
Looks good though, eh ?
Even the bit about the old ladies is accurate too...............

Hola Pete!!

How did your bike came in after all the work you done to her? last thing I knew is that you had your baby in bits isn't?

 

Hola Luis !
Bike is OK - I suspect a bit of starter clutch trouble looming though (I'm hoping it's just a fading battery) We'll see..............
