The digital dash upgrade is not completely plug and play (built for a hawk) but everything on it will work with the TBR7. You will also have the added advantage of a tachometer (not present on stock TBR7 dash). Installation notes below:
- Unplug the battery.. or at a minimum at least make sure your bike is off, don’t break something with a short!
- Remove headlight, side fairings, seat, and gas tank for easy access.
- Remove current dash, you will need to keep the nuts that attach it. Detach the mechanical speedometer
- Set your speedo on a bench next to your new digital speedo, using a dental pick, remove the pins on your new 9 pine connect, make the colors match the order they were in on the stock speedo
- *If you have a blue w/ white stripe wire at the headlight, you will need to separate the blue w/ white from the longer cable (the rest will travel to near the battery). I did this by slitting the sheath near the speedo and pulling the blue w/ white through
- *If you don’t have a blue w/ white, you can tap into the wire back at your cdi in later steps
- Once the 9 pin matches, you are done and will have power, neutral indicator, and speedo (this is a good time to plug in your new digital speedo cable) *I had a red w/ white cable left over, no negative effects*
- Next, run the longer 6 pin cable through the bike towards the battery (follow the other cables, use zipties to keep it secure)
- Detach the existing 6 pin connector under the seat area, it usually has one green and one white connector
- Unpin the stock wire connector using the same method as the 9 pin, with the exception of the green w/ red, this will be reused. The only difference in color will be that the brown w/ white will hook up to your yellow w/ white. Purple is unused (6th gear indicator)
- If you didn’t have blue w/ white at the headlight, you will need to tap into the cdi blue w/ white wire. Jaysso explains this well in his video.
- Remove your front axle bolt, just enough to remove the stock speedo, replace with digital speedo and run cable through holder, zip tie for safety!
- Switch your tire size, and change from Kilometers to Miles, adjust brightness, etc using the Programming instructions below
If you don’t have a dental pick or something very small to ‘un-pin’ the stock connectors, this is a cheap set that will work:
