LCD not showing on VFR800 Fi-x 1999

Hi all

Am aware this been covered, am looking for spares rather than advise really.

had problem with battery after bike had been standing and fixed this although in process at some point the LCD dispaly has stopped displaying anything. Am guesssing something shorted when trying to start the bike with naff battery, it wasnt holding charge and started was draining it ridiculusly fast. Am assuming as well there is no easy fix and am hesitant at paying £250+ for a new panel.

Can anyone suggest anywehre i might pick up a second hand one in servicable nick?

 

Are you sure it's not the fuse? My instrument console went out on me, everything but the clock, and it was a blown fuse. What was perplexing is that I could not find the cause of it while I was on the road. Finally found the issue with the front brake switch, as soon as I squeezed the front brake lever, out went the lights (literally). Not sure if the 99 and 09 have the same wiring setup for the instrument cluster but it's worth investigating.

 

I'm in the same situation as you. I'm looking to buy my replacement lower speedo from Partzilla.com - OEM Powersports Parts from Honda, Kawasaki Polaris, Suzuki and Yamaha at discounts up to 80% off MSRP it works out at about £85, excluding post/package.

Even with p&p it still won't cost £235!!

I tried repairing mine and it's shot.

 

Unfortunately it wasnt the fuse, the clock 10amp is fine

Battery was low last time i had key in but wasnt displaying with engine running which makes me fear the worst.

 

Partzilla show it as £250+

 

Again, not sure if the two models are the same or different but the clock fuse on the '09 is different than the instrument panel fuse. When the fuse blew, the ONLY thing on the dash that worked was the clock, everything else went out, including the headlights.

 

Sorry mate I read it as the LCD not displaying, thinking you meant the pcb was shot.

Found one on eBay, but that's still £249
