2010 Concours Instrument Panel

[chap]

I have a cluster from my 2010 Concours. It is in perfect condition showing 14,641 Miles. The reason for sale is I installed a km cluster because I am in Canada. This is for the ABS Bike. The list price new is $1039 USD. I am asking half of that $550 USD shipping included. You are responsible for any import fees etc as it will be shipped from Canada. Paypal would be the best method of payment

Hi, I thought the indicated mileage for our bikes is stored in the bike's ECU?

[B.D.F.]

No, it is in the electronics in the display. Those folks who have had a gauge cluster replaced due to the melted needles, melted bezel, ad nauseum, get a certificate showing the actual mileage on the bike (paper) but the new display shows -0- miles. I was told the same thing about swapping out my cluster because I also have the melted indicator needle and Kawi was willing to replace it under warranty.

By the way, if I did not have it replaced but am re- thinking that as I approach 100,000 miles. It would be cool to have the odometer effectively reset at exactly 100K ( I would make sure to swap the cluster out when it was exactly there even if I had to ride around the block 42 times  ). Makes the mental calculations easy when asked 'how many miles on that thing' and saves precious mental resources for really important stuff like the gestation period of a yak (258 days).

Is that an Asian or African yak?

As Brian Says. My new cluster started at 0 Miles (or in my case km). So the mileage is definitely stored in the cluster.

[B.D.F.]

No, no, a female Yak. Actually, a pregnant, female yak. They are called a Dri. A male yak is called a Ray. And the baby is called a cow (regardless of sex- they can have sex or not but they are all cows).

Here is a helpful little song to help you remember:

Dri, a Yak, a female Yak.
Ray, the Yak who knocked her up,
Cow, takes 258 full days......

There is more to the song but the rest is pointless.

Edited to correct the gestation period.... sheesh.

258?  158?

Hmmm...

[datsaxman@hotmail.com]

258km is almost the same as 158 miles.

Gestation is 258 in Metric, 158 in Imperial??

[B.D.F.]

I believe all the Imperial Yaks are gone now and most are either Democratic or Republic based. Popular vote and all....  Some of the palaces are still around though:

KiPass!

Now my work in this thread is finished. :-)

Mine was switched out under warranty but no certificate was given to me by the dealer.  I have photos and the invoices, and it is also documented with Kawasaki so that was enough for me.  Do you think I should call Kawasaki and ask for more documentation?  tks

[B.D.F.]

Nah. Just tell the next potential buyer how many miles are really on the bike and also tell him / her that that number is on file with Kawasaki and can be verified with any dealer.

If they want better documentation than that, they really want a BMW anyway so they know what phase the moon was in for each oil change anyway. Dems guize keeps great records..... :-)
