Legit fix! I did repaired my curled-up odometer polarized film using the top film from a Harbor Freight voltmeter I got free with a coupon. I didn't replace the back reflector film, I just peeled off the top film from the voltmeter, cut it to size, sprayed the back with some spray adhesive and stuck it on. The film did curl up when I peeled it off the old LCD glass, so I curled it the opposite way a few times until it lay flat.
Excellent video; I did same process on 2007 Suzuki boulevard c50; I tried a cheap Chinese calculator and it didn’t work; 2nd try with a good old American calculator and it worked! Cheers
FYI: LCD Screen Calculator - CASIO HS-8VA / CASIO HL-4A a bit bigger LCD but it will work - 37mm x 16mm LCD Important, you must leave the glue on the LCD display. Fantastic video, thanks John vk3hjq
@@dakotabriscoe3320 NO, Just a calculator as described to make this repair. their are few other youtube video's out there as well on this too, just do a search. John vk3hjq
On 4Runners, guys take the polarized film off and flip it over. That gives you light numbers on a dark background. I wonder if that would work on the odometer on the VTX
@@str8-6impala72 polarized as in sunglasses. All it does is reverse the colors of the background and numbers. It has nothing to do with electricity. It's light.
@oodsigma4482 i understand that. the polarized film is not the issue and cannot fix the issue. the original issue is that the LCD on these models are burned up due to the sun and need to be replaced.
@@str8-6impala72 I actually had a Garmin Nuvi laying around so bought a mount off Amazon. I hate the location of the factory one anyway. Now it is at least on the handlebars. I put an app on my phone too, but could not see it in the daylight.
You know what, old LCD/LED screens use the same "polarizer film", we could probably peel one, and get 100 fix's out of it. You *could* probably just take the burnt piece off, then wear polarized sunglasses to see it :D
if you have a part number search online, I know the parts are expensive so you'll just have to find the best deal. Partzilla and Amazon is where I look
I followed this video and did this to my vtx odometer. It worked great. Thanks so much!!!!!!
that's awesome...glad to have helped

@oodsigma4482 I tried just using polarized film first. It doesn't have an electrical capacity

Thanks for the video. Worked for my 2006 Honda vtx 1800.
awesome!
Thanks young man. vtx 1300 .I replace the top screen and could see it with a flash light. Did not no there was a screen under the plastic.
AWESOME...you're welcome...thank you for watching!
What about the speedo error? Mine is off 8 mph at 70, only doing 62. Is this a cable lube problem or???
I used an app on my phone to track mine...I know it drives you nuts

Genius, do have any advice for the stepper motor mine broken
buy another one
@@str8-6impala72 where can I find used one ?
cause the new one is too expensive

Я починил у себя, спасибо! Минск, Беларусь!
Need a heat gun in any of this process?
@andrewvelasquez79 I imagine it would have helped tremendously when I peeled the LCD from the calculator. Honestly, I didn't think to use one 🤔
Did the video get taken down?
nope, it's still up 😂
Looks like it's time to take a trip to goodwill to find a calculator
@daileydriven you can trim any size calculator screen to fit...just get you a good razor blade to remove the film and lcd ....then trim it
thx man very cool
You're welcome!
Good man!
thank you
Epic !! 🎉 but are we being trolled ?
@mirelio marzo...I believe so
