Below the rear cylininder on the exhaust side of the bike, a small black dohicky attached with a single bolt, with a black wire leading back near the cam cover. It attaches to the harnes with a grey 3 wire connector. Unplug connector, put in new fuse, try and start it. Speedo sensor runs about $53. Good luck (I get a new one Saturday) | ||

Dude! Wait more than 5 minutes before you get all huffy. The speedo sensor is on the right side of the bike, in the top of the transmission. It's just a little black nobby thing to the eye, with a couple wires coming out of it. It should be held in with a single bolt. If you're having the same problem as the last guy, there won't be anything visibly wrong with it, but you can disconnect it, replace the fuse, and see if it still blows to test the theory. | ||

so ur saying its under the tranny so basically by the starter or is it under the bike. because i just tryed to look for something like that and i cant find it. | ||
| Darthane |
In the TOP of the transmission. Yes, it would be near the starter. | ||
| Buellcruiser20 |
yeah i just found it it has a red and black wire running into it but theres a green wire going into the starter. wut should i do about the green wire. | ||
| Darthane |
You mean that the 3-wire connection has two wires going to the speed sensor and one that goes to the starter? If so, you're looking at the wrong sensor. The speedo sensor itself is 3 wires - most likely black, red, and white. BUT - they will be encased in a sleeve, so they may look like one large black cable.

hmmmmm it looks like the sensor im looking at because thats the only sensor i see on that side of the bike. but theres one green wire running to it and its right about the shaft going to the fly wheel or that dohicky | ||

Can you take a picture and post it and I'll circle the sensor? | ||

i dont got a digital to take pix of it if u try to show me were to locate it then i can find it i found one right next to the starter with a alen key bolt and nothing happend when i disconnected it it just popped another fuse when i clicked the kill switch to the run position | ||
| Darthane |
Pulling out the sensor will not change anything. You have to disconnect the triabgular 3-cavity connector. | ||
| Buellcruiser20 |
yeah i did that already and it still popped | ||
| Darthane |
Well, then that's not your problem. On to the next step. What EXACTLY is happening to your bike. Write out step by step what you're doing and what is happening. You won't get any meaningful help if you can't clearly explain what the issue is. | ||
| Buellcruiser20 |
what is happening is when i turn the key to the on position and then i click the kill switch to the run position the ignition fuse pops right as i hit the switch and the ignition gets power and ive looked for shorts and nothing. |
