Just did both gauges on my VX1100 and it worked a treat thank you. I did what David mentioned earlier and cut a hole in a piece of wood to support it. The back of the glass was misty on one and the other had marks that annoyed the heck out of me. I tried to pull the thing apart previously but realised it was t designed that way. Thank you again for the video.

Glad I watched this . Once I got the lip up slightly I used a philips screwdriver against the lip and just turned the angles of the driver against it keeping the screwdriver flatish . It was almost made for it, took a couple if minutes . cheers for this vid.

If you can make a reasonably accurate hole the diameter of the outside of the metal ring, and place the speedo into it, it makes it much easier. Even a hole bored in hardwood will do. That way the ring is supported, and the edge will bend up much easier, as the ring doesn't deflect as you pry.

Exactly what I was thinking too. And maybe a metal ring to protect the plastic too, you can see on the table is full of small white plastic peace falling down when the twist the screwdriver.

Thanks for this, I am about to strip apart the speedo on my Yamaha Virago XV535 and could not see how the bezel could be removed so this at least confirms that it’s a pry it off carefully process. I am converting my bike into a rat bike so am not bothered too much what happens to the chrome, but I’d like to sell the removed parts on, as long as I can get them off in reasonable order. I am making a new bezel and back cover out of fibreglass. But do need to see how it all comes apart and together again for the new parts I’m making. Excellent video, thanks.

Think the inside is a coating on the glass for protection. You can use #Cerriglass a liquid, we use on windscreens with Rayon pad plus a machine Rotary to get scratches out. Sonax glass cleaner.

Yeah ..those old motorcycle speedometers are hard to take off the bezel for a reason. To seal it from the elements. I have a special pry tool to take those apart but I still need to do it three times. the bezel is just very thick metal. and putting it back on requires a special machine/tool to do it right. the speedometer in most older motorcycles was really made to be disposable and is usually near impossible to rebuild. I know...I repair them for a living.

Yes I agree with everything you say. They were not meant to be serviceable but this video shows that you can get into them if you need to, I always prefer to try and fix something rather than throw it away. The older ones tend to be thicker metal than the newer ones and are harder to do but not impossible.

So very true. I wish I had bought a lot more motorcycle speedometers at junkyards that I saw over the years. We could all use the parts! :)

Tried this and it doesn't work. You can get it off but tear it up trying to get it back on. the only way I see you can get it off is to cut it and the plastic housing in two places then take the two halves off. I don't know how you can get the two halves back together. I don't think you can solder it. So if you have an answer for that you're in business. I think they use stainless steal to make the bezel.

Hi Barry, It does work, I have done this many times and as long as you are patient when getting it off and do not create any creases in the metal then it will go back on easily. I will have to upload a video of it being put back on to show that it does work.

Two things - one, the pointer shaft is tapered and is forced into the pointer boss. Pressure on the sides of the boss will distort it, and relieve the shaft. two, Carefully hold the speedcup/spindle assembly from rotating and twist the pointer free.
