Triumph - Fascia, Assembly, Instruments - T2501506

I developed a slight crack in the tachometer plastic lens on my '09 Street Triple R and while it was not large, I wanted to fix it to prevent moisture from getting behind the cover and potentially harming the instrument electronics.

The Triumph shop manual will do almost nothing to help you here, but thankfully most of it is self evident.

Start by disconnecting the battery, negative lead first.

My bike is equipped with the optional fly screen so my first step was to remove the 3 screws the hold it to to instrument bracket.

Pull the electronic connection plug from the rear of the instrument panel.

In order to remove the instrument pod from the bracket you will need a 9/32 socket for the screw holding the pod to the bracket (one of the seemingly random standard size fasteners that appear in the sea of metrics on Triumphs) and either remove one of the headlight buckets to get a good angle at the screw of use an angled socket as I did.

Once that screw is off, pull the instrument pod towards the rear of the bike and the bayonet fasteners should release fairly easily.

Since I was performing this repair outside I brought the instrument pod inside my apartment and removed the 6 Phillips screws from the pod (this is nowhere to be found in the service manual) and the front panel comes off easily. Be sure not to let the circuit board fall out and get damaged.

Replace the new front panel and put in the 6 Phillips screws.

Slide the pod back into the bracket and tighten the 9/32 screw (3Nm of torque according to the shop manual) and replace the wiring plug. I would imagine this would be the best time to replace the headlight bucket to the bracket if you had to remove it to access the screw holding the pod to the bracket. Again, I did not remove it myself.

In my case I then reattached the fly screen with the 3 screws and then reconnected the battery.

All in all a simple fix, but since it's not in the manual I hope this description is helpful.
