Bongo Fury

Hi all,

A question.

I recently filled up the Bongo, and reset the trip meter. It stopped working immediately, along with the odometer. I've done the usual things to get it going, by pushing and pulling the reset button, and even took the instrument panel off to check the back. I checked the cogs of the odometer, and made sure they weren't stuck etc, but still no luck. All other instruments work as they should.

The question I have, is: Do I need a replacement odometer, or would it be the connection (which I think I read, comes from the back of the gearbox)

Any help, tips or advice, as usual is greatly appreciated,

Mike

Is the Speedometer working ? In which case the sensor is functioning, sounds more like it might be the mechanical link inside the odometer itself, its not about to turn over 99999 > 00000 or something where it might just be a friction problem ?

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, all other instruments including speedometer are working. I zeroed out the trip meter when I reset it, but the odometer is stuck on 67,402 kilometres, so no significant "click over" as far as numbers are concerned.

Interested in this thread. My trip meter has all but had it on resetting properly but so far i think my odometer is ok

Might be worth, taking it out of the dash and seeing if you can use a small screwdriver to rotate the dials, it might just have managed to skip a tooth/tog and jammed up, otherwise you'll be looking for a replacement gauge I suspect, there have been reports before of stuck odometers on here before.

Thanks Geoff

Yes, I’ve tried that - no joy. I suspected a new odometer unit would be required, so will get it sorted before the season starts in earnest.

Cheers

Mike
