#37797 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Buttons on our dash, repairable? 4 Years, 9 Months ago   One of the boys I ride with has an 00 roadie with about 30,000 miles on her. Of late , the dash buttons (Odo counter, A,B,clock) have started to get very difficult to push, leaving him with no way to set the clock, check MPG, etc... The dealer said the whole dash has to be replaced....gulp..... Is there a repair for this, or is replacement his only option? Thanks guys, BB.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #37803 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Buttons on our dash, repairable? 4 Years, 9 Months ago   He doesn't have to buy the entire dash but it looks (to me) like they treat the speedo and buttons are a unit.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #37806 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:Buttons on our dash, repairable? 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Looks like it could be taken apart and checked out a little closer for a possible fix.... I have repaired buttons on calculators etc with some cleaning before ...Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #37807 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Buttons on our dash, repairable? 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Good luck on the repair. It looks like to me that you can't buy the part that you need. Check e-Bay. A few days ago I saw a guy parting out a bike and he was selling a dash.

I couldn't find any other so it may have been when I was looking for parts for my car.

Tear into your panel until you can squirt right up into the knobs themselves...make sure your key is off...soak them until it runs out everywhere. Cycle (press) each button a dozen times and soak again. You can take an air hose to the buttons and gently blow to speed up the drying process if you want. Have an old towel laying under the buttons when spraying so you don't soak everything else. The cleaner won't hurt your paint or anything. Might work, if not, you are only out $5 bucks. Good luck. - Rod.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #37848 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Buttons on our dash, repairable? 4 Years, 9 Months ago   Thanks guys, I'll pass this along. I'm the un-official &quot;guy&quot; in my group of riding buddies that ends up doing the work on every ones bikes anyhow, so I'll be the one putting these tips to use.
