My 94 cali 1100 is missing the trip reset knob. What does it look like in there? I can’t see very well. Is it a tongue and groove kinda arraignment or male threads? Can I make a reset device myself? I tried to look up parts for it but looks like knob is discontinued any ideas?

I don’t know. It’s missing from my speedo. All I have is a hole in the chrome bezel. I’d love to be able to reset my trip meter to know when to get gas

I always run mine out of gas and then back up a few miles. :grin:

It's threaded resetting it tightens the thread and turning it backwards will unscrew the knob. Now I just have to thin about which way you actually turn it when resetting it, I think its a conventional RH thread.

Thank you. I’ll ask the vendors if I can get one

More than likely it broke at the threads
MGCycle used to carry them but at this time out of stock.

I would suggest you get familiar with your bike and download or purchase a parts manual

Look in the hold and make sure you have a threaded "male" shaft to where the reset knob would thread. I have seen these snap off before !
-
Whether the thread is Left or Right hand threaded depends on which side of the speedo the knob is on. If the male part is broken off, a dab of glue on the knob and patience will get the trip set working again. You won't be able to get the bucket off the speedo afterwards, of course.
-
Thanks for all the help. I’ll find a kid with good eyes to look in there and see if there are threads!
-
I may have a few different types of these in my stash. Let me know if you have threads in there and I will look to see what I have.
-
Thank you! I emailed MG and they do have it. 10.00. I just need to be able to see in there and see threads. Where’s a child with good eyes? Lol.

How about a magnifier glass, I use one often. Not young anymore.

Anyone ever try a lamp socket knob with longer stem? Common at hardware shops in the lamp repair section!
-
I've lost two of them. Reverse thread. I'm too cheap to buy another for $20. Contact Joel Levine speedometer repair and he'll send you one for $20.

Reverse thread if it comes out the left side, IIRC. RH thread if on the right side.

It “looks” like the male shaft is in there. I read somewhere that a dremel cut off wheel female arbor would work. It doesn’t. Ccoil pm sent to check your stash. Thanks all!
Update ccoil sent me a knob and it worked great. Thanks all!

Slightly related, see my tri-light lamp control twist-knob on my 850T5. Long story, re the throttle cable(s) terminal into the throttle... which had to be re-designed. Said twist-knob stiffens the throttle (poor man's cruise control). It is NOT the throttle return limit knurled-head screw which is smaller dia.
