Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to common questions about this repair.

What should I do if a connector is hard to disconnect?

Never pull connectors apart with force. Check first if a shrink tube or a clip is still blocking the connection. Work slowly and straightforwardly to avoid damaging any pins.

The new display does not work after installation. What should I check?

Check all connectors again first. The connection from the display to the wiring harness is particularly important. Also, check if any cables were pinched during reassembly.

Do I need to check the brakes again after replacing the display?

Yes, definitely. Since the brake cables are loosened for this repair, you should adjust both brakes carefully at the end and thoroughly check their function before riding.
