you really like that book dont you lol. very good investment.

 

My 2002 sp 700 was the first year to use a new style instrument cluster as you described and it has 4000 miles in 5 years with 3000 comming in the first 2. It still runs perfectly and I have never seen one go bad, besides getting cracked from a roll over.

The 2002 has a tach like yours but you have to be in diagnostic mode to use it. Allows you to set the idle.

 

I'm glad to hear that book isn't just on the coffee table for conversation sake LOL
