Yamaha tzr 50 Speedo Problems

[Guest]

I have recently bought a yamaha tzr 50 and the speedometer is stuck at 0 mph, i have took the wheel apart to inspect the speedometer part on the wheel and it seems to be okay, i am stuck. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Is it a cable drive? if so has the cable snapped? Is it diconnected at the speedo end.

You'll find the experts hang out in pitstop, but i'm not one

undo the cable at either the top or the bottom and pull the inner piece out see if is the full length of the outer with about an inch extra it is normally a round cable with flat section on the bottom and square on the top it could just not be located correctly at one end or snapped

Or if its like my old RS50 its reading speed off a sensor near the gearbox. In which case it could easily be heavily corroded as that happened to mine and it wouldnt read properly after a while

Check and get back to us what setup it is

Hi people, i have fixed the speedo!! i took apart the front setup on the wheel, and opened up the sensor, then i replaced the resistor and put it back together, i started the bike and it worked thanks for your replies
