eastanglianbiker Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 hi and welcome to the forum please pop into newbies and introduce yourself if you plan to use the forum and join in now and again it is a good place to be in general lots of help and advice on all matters motorcycling.no idea how to solve your speedo problem as its electronic it could be break in the cable somewhere,could be the sensor altho looks ok has given up but one good thing is it is not part of the mot that the speedo works they just write down current mileage at the time of the test and thats it Quote
Adam Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 You usually have to take the front wheel off to get to the speedo sensor but first of all I'd check the connection behind the speedo unit itself, should be held on by a few bolts. If you're not sure which cable it is just trace it back. Quote
Guest Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I have traced the cable the whole way up and a seems fine, nearly certain it's something inside the cable that goes down to the wheel, I have the wheel off but can't figure out how to take the sensor apart Quote
Adam Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Probably can't mate, they're usually a sealed unit if it's electric for obvious reasons. Just wiggle the connection to the speedo unit and unplug it and give it a good spray with some wd40 Quote
