No Sweep of Gauges R3Touring?

[Dean0]

Unlike my Roadster, I have just noticed that my R3Touring speedometer don’t sweep when I turn on the ignition... I can’t remember if it ever did, it makes all the same noises as my Roadster, the fuel gauge and lights are working fine and the bike runs great... the battery and terminals are good.
I would like hear from other Touring owners as to whether their gauge sweeps on ignition.

Cheers, Dean

Not me Touring mate, I just couldn't see myself parting with such a fine machine... now if it were the Roadster I might be tempted by your generous offer

Is the kill switch off?

Nah mate... kill switch on, bike powers up, no sweep, bike starts up and runs great... have you noticed that your Touring sweeps on turn of key?

Yes for sure as memory serves, since my bike got totaled a couple weeks ago. My next check would be that you have a solid connection to the underside of the instruments. Try unplugging and unplugging it & see if that doesnt help. I've got nothing else, so good luck!!

Ok one last thing to consider. Been reading that it could be a sign your ignition switch is failing.
