Total Miles on dash stopped showing suddenly

Bike works great and everything, just noticed the total miles on the dash stopped displaying. All the others including the trip miles show fine.

I know it's not from me retrofitting my headlights because it was working for a long time after I did them this past Winter and I think the total miles just stopped showing recently. I don't ride it much so I can't when. Weather is getting better so I plan to take it out more to practice.

Anybody have any ideas? Can't image it being a connector.


Also, I noticed that my oil reader is not working, fogged up and can't see. I got it like that when I purchased the bike, not a big deal but how easy are they to replace?

 

Bump, anybody done an odometer repair? Googled and search more and found out about http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/forum/showthread.php?t=83597

 

if the speedo and trip are still working i can only assume the lcd display died or the wiring for it worked itself loose

 

I think it may have displayed some random number before it disappears. Most likely the wiring

 

You don't have to replace the oil window.
All you do is remove the clutch cover and clean it out.
Did it on mine not long ago.
Good idea to get a gasket before you do.

 

Would you happen to know which gasket that is? or the model number?

I'm gonna search the forum on the guide for that.

Thanks

 

Here are just a few on Fleabay. 1998 to 2001 are all the same.

Thanks, I'll order one and plan on this project.

Gonna take apart the cluster and see what's going on w the lcd display

 

Seems like the traces on the back of the cluster are fine, nothing is separated. eBay doesn't seem to have any cheap parts I can use to replace.
