2000 Husky Speedo

I'm wondering what does the black button do on the face of the speedO? I read some and think its for calibration but does this thing have a trip odometer??

Any tips on its function would be great!

 

[hoat]

press the button

I did that, thanks for the help.

tripometer......also used for calibration....not sure the sequence for the cal but I saw it on here somewhere how to do it.

I have pushed the button and it does nothing, is it a trip odometer? Thats what I need, I'm riding to Sturgis this year solo most of the way and need to know when to look for gas without having to remember the mileage during last fill up.

definately only a tripometer............press and hold.

it will show three different readings if pressed in succession (at least mine does) but press and hold for about 5 seconds and it will reset your tripometer

Try pushing the button when you are moving at a speed of 30mph or better.

Our older speedos kick into calibration mode when the button is pushed at a stop or at slow speeds, 1st gear etc.

The sequence has something to do with time/speed.

After I get fuel, I make sure I am rolling at cruising speed for a couple of minutes then I press and hold the button.

It always goes to the actual mileage and then switches to the trip (0.0) when it resets.

If you end up in calibration mode, I am pretty sure you can just ride it out. I know there have been a couple of times I have gotten there by mistake and have had to get the bike cruising and pushed the reset a few times until it got out of that mode.

Hope this helps.

Not sure which thread it is in, but I know I have read on here the steps to calibrate.

When I did the search, these are the threads

I pushed the button all different ways and it does nothing, guessing its not working? Maybe will keep my eyes open for another speedo, see them on ebay every once in a while. My odometer some times flickers so I'm not sure how long its going to last?

Does it work other than this button? Is it the standard Autometer used on the newer models. Not many older bikes here so not sure what was used in 2000.

If it's the Autometer you might try to disasemble it and see if one of the three wires broke loose from the circuit board inside the speedo. Look in the How To section for a fix on this.

Thanks Raywood for the suggestion, its a VDO.
