Speedo resetting often

[benj565]

So, the trail tech speedo on my fantic (for all intensive purposes, all GG hard wear, ignition, wiring, etc.) has been resetting itself a lot of late, and the whole 888 display with everything on until I press mode.

Has anyone else had this? All my connections are fine, and it seems to do it whether the bike is running or not.

Any step in the right direction would much appreciated.

Yeah my 13 has done it since new, just figured it was a piece of crap lol

Does the internal battery need replacing? I've had no problem with mine, but it is properly rubber mounted too.

Mine would do that when it needed a new battery

Second that. Replacing the battery will sort it out, however if your trail tech speedo is getting too many volts (as mine is), battery life will suffer and the issues will start over.

I changed the internal battery 2 months ago. To no avail.

If it is a battery thing, it wouldn't do it while riding would it?

Call Trail Tech. Their customer service is second to none. They are great people. I had to send my voyager in a couple months ago for a broken button and they sent me back a brand new one. Turn around with shipping time included was just over a week

the battery does not make a firm contact .open the battery cover and fold up a small piece of paper,then put the cover back on ,this will put pressure on the battery connection

+1 I think they told me that when I emailed them

So, I just pulled the battery out, and there were small black arching marks where it makes contact with the speedo, which is pretty obvious that is the problem. Ive bent the little lug out a touch, and cleaned everything up, and put it back together with a little piece of rolled up electrical tape in there to make sure it makes a decent contact.

Fingers crossed.
