Hey guys,
I rode my F2 yesterday for the first time. All things considered it was very solid for a $450 bike.
But, the trip meter doesn't work. I know I know, it could be far worse. But, do you think I should give it a shot to try and repair it? I have no idea what kinds of gears are in there or how it's supposed to work, but having a look could make it obvious.
Has anyone else been inside the speedo? Can you recommend whether or not I risk damage to the other functioning things?

Hey man. I just had my dash apart to clean the innards, and the speedo, odo. and trip meter are integrated into one plasticy shell of disturbing complexity. I actually tried to take it apart all the way for kicks, but as I recall the abovementioned components come out as one unit. Pics required if you try!

The previous poster should note that when you titled your bike it should have had current mileage on it. If you replace the speedometer housing with a lower mileage one you can go to jail for odometer fraud if you dont disclose it correct both to the state and the person you sell it to.
