Trip knob

[Tuplis]

Hello again,

So it seems that I'm missing one crucial part from my speedometer.
What kind of part should be there? Where I could get one? How this knob should work when it's operational, twist or push?

In the picture you can see that there is only a empty hole...

If there is no spare part for this one, like i would imagine. Could someone send me a picture about the part. I could probably do a DIY solution.

It's the trip mileage reset knob.
It is spring loaded. You twist it 1/4 turn against the stop and it zeros out the mileage counter.
I use it, rather than the low fuel light, to know when to get gas.

How did the knob get separated from the speedo ? It's actually an electrical switch. Not sure if it can be reattached.

There should be a peg in the casing look in the hole, the knob screws onto that with a very tiny X head screw as said you will have to index the knob so as you can't Turn it to much about 1/4 turn try without the screw first so you know where it goes because it needs to be assembled with the outer case fitted.

So...
The knob fly away with it's interior (because of accident). With interior I mean that the spring and the actual thingy/switch that makes it reset the trip reading.
There is nothing in the hole where the new knob could attached with that tiny screw, only darkness.
I can see there two metal strips when i look inside the hole with flashlight. Could it be so that there should be a metal piece attached to the other end of that small screw that will connect those two strips inside of the instrument together, and that makes the reset?

I saw one picture and there should be a some kind of black plastic piece covering that hole, is that correct and is that the piece where the knob should attache originally?
I really want to try to fix this because I don't want to lose the original indicator with the original reading of how much the bike is been driven.

Going by how you have described the electronic part that is connected to circuit board inside has gone still attached to the knob so i think that would be a specialist repair if it could be fixed at all.

in my manual on page 18.3 it shows the instruments and the little knob that you turn(miles 1st trip 2nd trip) mine has a little collar on it also. i try to never trun it all the way to the end thats just a stop to keep you from breaking it.
tach has a screw at the front and it should come out far enough to see the problem.
just a possibility that you might be able to cut a grove in whats left to turn it or attache something to it.

Can't you just jab a screwdriver in there???

The screwdriver trick would possibly work but from what @Tuplis is saying there is nothing to stick cos it is attached to the knob that I assume is on side of the road somewhere. Fancy leaving your knob on the side of the road.
