I have access to the newer hood gauges found on the firecat, crossfire and m-series off of a wrecked sled. Can it be retrofitted to be used on my 1M?

I asked this question several months ago, I didnt get any replies. Someone has to have tried to do this, anyone?

I am also wondering about this but have not seen anything yet. I will be doing some reseach. I'll let you know if I find anything out

I know the speedo is electronic, which will be one issue. But I would like to know if the rest of the electrics would work, temp light, low oil light, rpms, etc. I believe I can work on the speedo part seperate from the rest.

It looks as if the 03 - 04 speedo sensor should bolt up to where the ZR does and just add power, right.??????

Not exactly. The digital guage sender uses a magnet on the driveshaft, instead of a square peg.

Can it be converted?

By looking at the diagrams, you should be able to drill a recess hole, same as a 2003 Firecat drive shaft, into the drive shaft of a 1M. I don't think it will even hurt the original speedo set-up if you just can't get it to work and switch back.
The speedo sensor's clearance is what holds the magnet in place or is it epoxyed in place? either way it should be doable. The magnet is the key to this mod I believe.
Does anyone have pictures of the magnet in the end of the drive shaft, measurements of how far the stub shaft extends past the bearing, etc. I believe I can switch mine over with a few refereces made from an actual 2003 firecat just to verify dimensions are right.
Thanks

Did anyone ever get this done? Just wondering, I was considering it then too.

All of those things can be made. I made ZR 800 EFI -03 based mountain mod and used Firecat gauge and driveaxle pickup for speedo. Works good. The gauge just needs voltage to show rpm and lights. Rest of the pins are for sensors etc.
