Hi Jensen,

thanks for your answer.
The question is : How can i disassembly the needles of revcounter and speedo ?

Are they mounted with a little thread
Are they only put on with preasure

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hallo Jensen, will die beiden Nadeln von Drehzahlmesser und Tachometer demontieren.
Sind die wie bei Yamaha nur aufgesteckt oder mit einer kleinen Klammer oder einem Gewinde mit Mutter unter dem Chromdeckel befestigt?
Habe schon versucht Sie abzuziehen geht aber nicht.

Gruß Christian

Guten Tag. Willkommen

The needles are a pressure fit. I have rebuilt a few of these units, and my little secret to removing the needles is to use a pickle fork.

You slide the tines of the fork under the needle, and make sure the base of the fork is resting on the head of a screw that holds the face plate on, and press gently. If they don’t come off on the first try, turn the needles about 90 degrees and try again. They should pop straight off!

Viel Glück!

CJ

Thanks,

Needles are demounted. Thanks for your help.

Hamburg is 850 km away from my location.
I am from the south of Bavaria near Munich. Maybe you now the "Oktoberfest" in Munich.
This is the home of the short leather trousers and the girls with
colourfull short dresses named "Dirndl". This is the most now from us.
But also we have BMW, Audi,Mercedes an Porsche in the neigborhood.
And the best is we can drive as fast as can on the highway.

Thanks Christian
