I have a 2008 R3 Touring model that I have had problems with the speedo. I have combed this site and seen others have had the same problem that I'm experiencing but I can't seem to find a solution.
I had my bike parked outside during a heavy rain storm. My speedo gauge filled up with water. I dried it out but the neutral light quit working. I tried to get the panel open as I could see the bad light but couldn't get to it. In the process I ruined the whole darn thing.
Went to Ebay and bought a a used speedo but the part number was wrong and it was for an ABS model. I didn't realize this until installed. The speedo, odometer, fuel gauge and turn signal canceling switch did not work. I returned the speedo and bought another correct used speedo. Installed it but still have the four functions not working. I've cleaned all the electrical connections. Triumph insists it's a plug and play part.
I guess my next step is to take it in to a dealer but they are all backed up for weeks.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. Willing to pay a tech for instructions.
