Tommy Kaira 25R Digital Meter Cluster

Ever since I got the ER34, I've been looking for the Tommy Kaira 25R Digital Meter Cluster. It's basically a stock meter cluster but embedded in it is the speedometer in digital format instead of an analogue dial. In addition, it also have warning lights to indicate "Peak Torque" and "Shift Up Point".

As you can imagine, this meter cluster is as rare as hen's teeth! These were only found in Tommy Kaira 25R. And only 163 units were ever made. From this number it is again divided in to automatic transmission and manual transmission version. During the course of these few years, I've managed to track down a couple of automatic transmission meter cluster but not the manual version until now. And boy does it cost me! Paid mighty good money for it.

Actually I've also gone to the extend of requesting Tommy Kaira to produce the meter but they rather not entertain my request unfortunately. 

  

Anyway, when the Tommy Kaira 25R Digital Meter Cluster arrived, I got it fitted onto the ER34. Looks good but one major issue. The calibration is totally off. It's reading perhaps around 4 times the actual speed. And I hit the speed limit of the meter cluster easily, at a speedy 400km/h. :P

There are some work around ways to this after consulting a mate in Australia that have had the same issue. I'll need to sent it to a instrument specialist. They will hook up the meter cluster to two devices called SINE Wave Electronic Ratio Box. One each for the speed reading and  the odometer reading. 

Before I courier down my meter to those guys in Australia, I looked around my part of the world and thankfully, a friend here can get it done for me. And I do not need those SINE Wave Electronic Ratio Box. The Tommy Kaira 25R Digital Meter Cluster will be worked on directly. The meter cluster was disassembled and long story short, I got it back after a couple of months. It's working great!
