I just added a 2006 Sportsman 500 HO to my collection. Mostly in good shape, just normal wear and tear without much maintenance. It has a digital information center under the speedometer with a LCD screen. Half of it has gone black and I can't read the hours or mileage. If I replace this do I have to replace the speedometer/ gauge cluster as a complete assembly or can just the gauge cluster be replaced? Also, where is the memory that stores the accumulated mileage and hours? Will that information be lost if I replace the assembly?

 

One of the few speedos that you can replace the bezel on.Not sure if it's just the trim ring only. If it is you can have clear glass or plastic cut for it. Item #3.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

Plus if you're electrically inclined you can do as some have.http://forums.atvconnection.com/pola...ml#post3232409
