While spending a couple hours pulling another quad out of a mud hole this summer, a friend (who was sitting on my front rack) fell against my headlight pod. Later I realized that my speedometer/odometer was not working. My hourmeter is still going and all the wires to both are still connected. Has anyone ever had problems with theirs, or did I just screw mine up somewhere that cant be seen? Any help would be appreciated.

Return to dealer for warranty issues. The Magnum 500 has had many defects concerning this problem.

 

EADS, I just got my SP back from the dealer today, after only 26.5 hours and about 50 miles, it went on the blink. The only thing I could read was the hour meter. The odo and trip were a jumbled mess, like it was english and metric at the same time. The digits would flash and sometimes it would shut down the motor! If I smacked the side of the pod, I could shut down the motor, but it would also stop the digits from flashing. Now it seems fine, they replaced unit under warranty, claim they have not come across this before at my shop. Took a week to get the complete speedo from MN. Got two more months get shake the SP down before warranty is up.

 

Hey, maybe that will be the next thing to go wrong on my 00 500 SP! Just about everything else has.
