Hey everyone, I have a 2000 VFR and decided to change the gauge faces for the tach and speedometer. To do this I needed to remove the needles from the gauges. So, all went well until I put the needles back on. First of all, I had no idea how to line them up properly. After some tweaking, it looks like the tach needle is pretty close but I cannot even get the speedometer needle to move. I have the bike on the center stand in first gear and when rolling on the throttle the needle for the speedometer does not move at all. I must have had the needle off and on 50 different times. Sometimes it won't fall back to zero so i move it but it does not seem to be affected at all by the throttle. Did I mess something up? Is there a "correct" way to do this?

Thanks ahead of time,

Primo
