How easy is it to replace the clocks on the 1198 The screen is cracked and I have managed to get a used 1098 dash do you need the old bikes key code? any information appreciated Thanks
You need either the code card or a coded key from the donor bike. Speak to Mark at Scorpio Electronics as he may be able to clone your old clocks to the new. https://www.scorpio-electronics.co.uk/
The code can also be extracted from the original dash. If you are the daring type, I have instructions on how to do it yourself. It will require some electronics fiddling and the purchase of some low cost parts from ebay. I am sure a service like the one mentioned above can also extract the code for you.
yeah I've been searching for a non-working dash to do this exact thing since my case is cracked but everything I see on ebay is still too expensive.
Thanks guys I tried changing just the case a few years ago with a donor 848 but they were slightly different shape. I just assumed the 1198 was a newer version shape the 848 had a slight curve in the screen where mine is completely flat so the case wouldn’t fit
I followed these instructions to the letter to replace 1098 cracked dash, easy enough job http://www.ducati.org/forums/1098-1198/61730-new-1098s-ownership-diy-cracked-dash-repair.html
If you can access the circuit board can you see a chip with 24c16 on it? It is on the side of the circuit board behind the LCD display. I do have the kit to read and write to this type of chip so may be able to help you.
Glad to see my write up still of use rdryder ! My dash still looks like new after I did the screen repair. Yours still ok ?
At the time when I moved it on, yes it was. Your detailed posts saved me a lot of of £££,s and grief. Many thanks... It was the only bike of many I,ve owned I truely regret selling , thats life wha!
