The Dashboard of the YAM1. I tried to close the DJ but sadly, it did'nt. The lower set of switches were broken from inside.
The speedo had an unique setting for speed restriction. "G" for 50 kmph for Goods and "P" for 75 kmph for Passenger.
It was dust and dirt all around. This requies thorough cleaning.
