Hi. Just in case anyone did not know already, I thought I would point out a common flaw in the early / mid 80's electronic tripmeter / timer units I see for sale on eBay.

If you look at this one, you can see what I mean.

A fair amount of units I have seen for sale over the years have one or both sides "blacked out". This means that part is DEAD...FOREVER.

Buyer beware!

just wondering how the trip meter is powered. In my manual I see a Black wire (ground) and a brown wire to where? Have a 1983 KDX 250 I'm doing over. My friend never had the lights working or the trip meter working but I want all that stuff to be right.....

Welcome to the forums.

4 AA batteries in a case that mounts underneath the stock headlight. Look on www.partzilla.com for OEM diagrams and you will see it under "METER" I think.

Thanks Jason

You're welcome.
