Looking at a 2012 550 Sportsman with 1800 kms on it. Owner is replacing the Speedo cluster.

What would cause speedo cluster failure?

What other concerns should I consider before making an offer?

Thanks

 

Several things can cause speedo to go out, voltage spikes,heat,vibration,connector pin issues,plus simply all the functions that the newer speedos are called upon to do. If the owner is replacing it,I wouldn't worry if the rest of the atv is in good shape. Whether they were taken care of or not speedos could go blank. Several people have torn in to them and replaced parts to get them going again. Seems to be a common part responsible in most cases like these two posts show.http://forums.atvconnection.com/pola...ml#post3232409

Thanks.

Going to look at it tomorrow. He has the new cluster, I am handy enough to change it out. Use that to improve price.
