Soooooooo... I managed to do a face plant on my '14. While coming to a stop sign with my visor open I managed to get yellow jackets IN my helmet along with a couple on my neck, stuck in my hooded sweatshirt. When I started getting stung I unknowingly squeezed my front brake harder than intended... the next thing I know I am laying on the road. Luckily, besides some road rash through my sweatshirt and a bruised ego, no major injuries were sustained. ANYWAYS... I am hoping to pick some brains on here. When I laid my bike down I managed to break my speedometer, which killed the entire instrument cluster. I am considering buying the replacement assembly on Bike Bandit and doing it myself, but I don't know where the "brain" of my bike is located. If I replace it myself will I need someone to flash the computer or anything like that? Does anyone have any feedback on how complicated doing this swap myself will be? I consider myself pretty mechanically/electrically inclined, I just haven't had to do any complicated work on this thing since I bought it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
