Author Message   Pyrobee Posted on Monday, October 18, 2010 - 03:27 pm:        So I was riding down the highway a few days ago. I pulled the front end up for a few sat it back down and the speedo quit working. The miles and Trip still show but do not change and the speedo does not work at all and all lights still work... WTF and what should I do first? I checked the speedo sensor and it was dirty but not cracked so I cleaned it. still nothing...   Daveswan Posted on Monday, October 18, 2010 - 06:49 pm:        I believe you need a new speedo sensor. Same happened to me. If cleaning doesn't do anything it's junk.   Pyrobee Posted on Monday, October 18, 2010 - 08:22 pm:        Well I replaced the speed sensor. problem solved. I figured that was what it was but I decided to get some second opinions.   Jespo_m2 Posted on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 08:08 am:        Common problem usually cause voltage spikes from the junk voltage regulators that come with HD motors. Cycle Electric makes high quality regulators that resolve this issue. http://cycleelectricinc.com/   Pyrobee Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 - 11:04 pm:        Thanks for all the information. I will look that up?   Daveswan Posted on Friday, October 22, 2010 - 07:52 am:        the new sensors are updated 5v regulated unlike the old. I haven't heard of any issues with the new sensors but I'm always open to better replacement components so I'll take note of that one.   Jespo_m2 Posted on Friday, October 22, 2010 - 08:23 am:        Ah.. I didn't know that the new sensors have been updated... good to know. Daveswan, How do you like the works shock? I was thinking about getting one.   Buellistic Posted on Friday, October 22, 2010 - 10:39 am:        WHAT IS THE PART NUMBER ON THE LATEST AND GREATEST SPEEDO SENSOR ???   Daveswan Posted on Saturday, October 23, 2010 - 08:11 pm:        Jespo, I'll PM you as to not steal the speedo thread...   Car_enthusiast Posted on Tuesday, January 04, 2011 - 11:29 pm:        I replaced my speed sensor over the summer and now the speedometer will flutter a little bit and I notice under heavy throttle or 4k+ rpms that the speed doesn't seem to be correct. At 4k I usually am doing 80, 45 usually sitting around 90, and 5k I am around 100, and the bike runs out of steam at around 120mph, but sometimes it doesn't seem to read that even though the revs are where they should be. Any ideas what is going on here?   Hootowl Posted on Wednesday, January 05, 2011 - 10:05 am:        clean the tip of the sensor. It's likely collected some metal shavings.   Kenm123t Posted on Saturday, February 05, 2011 - 06:38 pm:        the 99 m2 speedo sensors died from picking up RF some where in the KV some one came up with a RF choke to install in the sensor harness. I didnt do it I had already installed a front wheel 98 speedo. My electronic speedo died every time I rode past the MRI center leaky RF sheilding on the Old GE MRI trailers
