It seems salvageable but you need to dis-assemble the pcb to get access to the back of it and re-connect the missing? pins, someone with good eyes and soldering iron and some knowledge can probably do some good here, even if he needs to make some pins and solder short wires to what is left of the electrical tracks on the back of the connector pins one by one.
Dont try to connect only part of the connector, all of these wires must be connected at the same time.
I would leave the connector in tact as it is for the future and to keep the white wires in order since they all look the same when you get them out of the connector, just push some new pins in the connector holes or repair the pins in the board.
There is no harm in running the bike in the situation it is in now, the cluster only receives signals from various parts of the bike and processes some of them.
The connector behind the broken one with the colored wires is likely from the headlight and is shown on the pdf in the left top corner.
If you mean the oil temperature sensor by " the thermistor " no, the ot sensor is directly connected to the electronic control module under the tank, see diagram.
cheers; max
Thanks Max. I didn't know you could replace the individual pins in the female connector on the circuit board. I was going to try to get the whole female connector from digi-key or somewhere using those photos and the measurements of the male connector on the ribbon cable, then try to find someone to install it after removing the broken one on the circuit board. The entire "meter assembly" is $600 (parts not sold separately).
I think the thermistor is a thermal resistor device added to the 2014 model. It is in the fuel pump circuit, I believe. Under certain conditions I think it prevents the fuel pump from catching on fire. Definetely a feature I would like to have working.
