I have a 6th gen 2003 VFR800. The instrument cluster has a bad/broken lcd on the left. If anyone has a broken instrument cluster with a good left lcd, I would like to buy it. If you buy a replacement display from online auction, the mileage is stored in the display and it should work, but your odometer will not be correct for your bike. Hence my desire to repair my existing display. I bet somebody has on in their parts bin.... Also, I have a good right lcd display. It takes a person with above average soldering skills, but it can be done,
On 5th Gen and would expect looking at pic it will be same on 6th Gen that display is just that. Mileage, trip etc are stored in chip on printed circuit board.
