I’m interested do you still have any??
03/04/05/06 ZX636 ZX6R speedo upgrade
Hello ZX6R forum!
I'm extr400 from Kawiforums (and same profile on here now too) :hmmm:
Just wanted to publicise a project that I've had running to use the new style dial gauges (from 2007 bikes onwards) on the 03 to 06 bikes that used the LCD style clocks.
Well the good news is that the project is finished now and thanks to several forum members that have been willing test victims, I now have a plug and play solution to make the upgrade be seamless and easy.
The new style speedo gives you the better looking moving dial tacho and LCD speed readout. Its also much better for track use as its easier to register what a dial gauge is telling you than the LCD tacho graph, on a quick glance.
The trick feature is that the adapter calculates the gear from the difference between the speed and tacho signals and sends an extra digital signal to the new speedo to work the gear readout. This also stops the annoying red FI light from flashing :crazy
The engine signals are all a bit different between model years, so the adapter adjusts them to be correct for the new speedo. Essentially this is doing a speedo healer function, so it was logical to allow some extra variation to take account of custom final drive sprocket sizes. There is a Windows PC interface program that talks over USB to set up the adapter.
Since its a community led project I have kept costs as low as possible. Am currently selling them to forum members for US$50 and $10 post (international signed for delivery) - they are made by me in Scotland.
I'm an electronics engineer by trade, so have tried to make it as good as any commercial product.
Have limited numbers available, but can build more on demand. Please PM me if your interested.
Cheers

So from my research it looks like the ZX600 used the same cluster (250310240) from 2009 - 2018 but the ZX636 used (250310435) from 2013 - 2018.
I assume the change was because of the added ABS?
So it looks like any ZX600 cluster from after 2007 should work with this kit but the ZX636 clusters from 2013 won't work.
I made a spreadsheet if anybody's interested.

It won't let me pm you but I am interested in purchasing an adapter1. Yes 2. Yes (though Oz post is lousy, even with tracking3. Yes adapter is sealed except for mini USB and in/out connectors. PM me with your email address for a paypal invoice of the relevant amount. You should probably buy the bike first tho, and source a new gauge
I received the Cluster (Part number: 25031-0240) that came out of a 2017 zx600 with only 370kms on the odometer.
I can confirm that all functions that I tested worked perfectly. I didn't test the ECU wire with the coding on it but I'm confident that would work too.
So, it looks like the most important part about looking for a cluster is not the year of the motorcycle, but the part numbers.
Kawasaki Australia allows you to purchase the same model cluster from 2009 to 2018.
All I have to do now is wait for extr400 to make some more adaptors and I should be right to go.
I'm wanting a 0304 to 09 harnessOh, and it all started here:
