Hey guys, my buddy has a 2012 Sportsman 800 EFI and I'm not sure how he did it but he ended up wacking his speedo and cracking the display on it.

That's the only thing that's damaged, nothing on the board looks cracked or unsoldered.

My question is, does anyone know if I can get the display separate from the rest of the speedo? The display is clearly proprietary as it has specific icons for what appears to be suspension or engine warnings.

I'd really like to spare him the need to buy a whole new speedo.

does the display still work....if so just get a piece of clear vinyl laminate plastic and cover cracked area..keep it water proof....go to a shop that does vinyl signs on cars and ask for a cut off piece

I would imagine it doesn't.

I should have mentioned that I can see the liquid crystal leaking out I apologize for not including that information. Thanks!

ok..i see now..its leaking....its toast..lol....I bet thats a OUCH part to replace...

Yeah the speedo unit is pretty expensive but the display is the only part damaged. It costs next to nothing to make those LCDs, I was hoping somebody would have a bright idea about where I could find one.

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure that's right. I'll have him look at it. Thank you.

That link is for a 850...won't work.
Looks like around $300 at cheapcycleparts.com
On the bright side, he gets to start all over again with 0 hrs. and 0 miles!
