WELL I BOUGHT A XTX. i said i wouldnt but after riding it i did. i still have issues with a sled of that price having a $35 gauge that looks like a cheap hummingbird fish finder on it. even more so after owning an attak for 3 years with the best gauge in the market. has any one swaped gauges yet? can it be done? will a apex gauge work? i know it may not have some functions but tach and speedo are the most important? what about a vector gauge? any all help or advice would be appreciated.

LOL This is one of the biggest Jokes about the Nytro. I paid the same for my Nytro as I did for my 06 attak and they put that Mickey Mouse Gauge on it.

I had a Vector and now a Nytro, both the connectors look the same, so it may be possible to switch them.
If you have the means, I would take a look at each sled's wiring to see if the colours match each other and in the same position in the connector.
I wouldn't just do a "plug n play" to see if it works at the risk of frying some electronics.

My biggest and only complaint with the guage is its hard to read the tach. I'm kind of the tuner type, so I like to be able to see the tach at a quick glance. Helps when clutch tuning.
If you could swap the large display between the speedo and tach, that would be a big help.
Or better yet if the Vector guage works.....

I have seen the apex guage installed on a nytro. from what I seen it looks pretty good. If I was at home I would go take a pic of it. Its on a buddy's 08 40th aniv Nytro RTX. I asked him how he did it. he said its abit of a secret. but he took the wiring schematics from the 2 sleds and made his own harness to make it work. and works it does. all the functions.
ANd it doesnt look akwardly huge in the dash ether.

This really needs to be figured out. I think it would be an awesome mod for these sleds. The gauge was my biggest concern prior to ordering my Nytros, and I would like to add an Apex gauge to my sleds this summer, pending it isnt too messed up to do so.
Port Yamaha has the Apex gauge for abut $ 600.00 Ea, which is really spendy, but I immagine you could find take off gauges from wrecks, ect.

When I get home from Dubai I will go over and see how he did it and snap some pics. I have been thinking about doing it to my wife's Nytro. She would like the clock.
I know a person can download here on TY the Apex and the Nytro shop manuals, so a person would be able to match the wires up. but im going to look at his harness and see what colors he matched up.
What have you guys been buying Used Guages for? I know a bran new one I bought from Seattle Yamaha was $460 US.
Thanks

From what I know of the apex guage, when I smashed mine it had 700kms on it, so I bought a new one thinking the ECU would have the milage stored. when I put the new guage on it returned the milage back to 0. So I would think if you bought a used guage it would show the milage that the orignial sled it came from.
