Never tried it with an r6 but i know my buddies 954 CBR won't run with out the stock gauge cluster on it. Other than that just un plug it and try to start it. if it starts, it shouldent hurt anything.

im not too sure. ive never heard of anyone doing this. the stock unit also helps in displaying trouble codes. so i dont think its a wise idea to begin with.

It better run without the instruments cause next week when i get my bike rebuilt I am not gonna have it on the bike. I am gonna replace the stock gauges with my Veypor. The only thing I gotta figure out is if I can just tap the wire for the gas light and then hook an LED up to it or something so I know when my fuel is low.

if you gonna crash and damage the gauges also, i would say the bike is f**ked any way. so another $300 for a new speedometer isnt really much to the thousands of dollars of damage to the rest of the bike. not to mention to your medical bills.oldracer said:
besides doesnt your state require some type of odometer for your motorcycle?
so best bet is to just keep your stock instrument panel. its only around $300. new top of the line guages and someone to splice the wiring harness and wire them up would cost about the same. but i would think the only gauges would work is marine/boat gauges, weather proof.
The best way to find out is to try to start it with the dash unplugged. It could be that there is a circuit that needs to be completed.
My CBR600 racebike wouldn't run without it, so I found one from a wrecked bike and used that. All I used from it was the tachometer.
