Fireblade Speedo Not Working
mike smith1 - 10/4/06 at 09:09 AM

I posted on here a while back about using the new style speedo sensor that bolts into the gearbox on the 98 blade, mounted externally on a 97 blade with 2 magnets on the prop adaptor, A few people replied who had done this, and had been successful, unfortunatly i havent , any ideas why, will try and get a picture of the way i have mounted it later.

I think I should also mention i am using the newer style clocks as well ( off a 98 blade)

Can i test the sensor with the multimeter in anyway?

Any Help Appreciated

Using the ohmeter side of the Multimeter - test for a fluctuation of resistance across the wires whilst rotating/passing the magnets across the sensor. If this is satisfactory then at least you have a pulse and the problem is possibly with the clocks - probably the distance between the magnets sensor tho'

Good luck!

What sort of reading should i be getting and which wires there are 3 ( i think they are pink black and green) im a electrical retard!

Pink is common and feeds the speedo... therefore black (Live) and pink (return) or pink and green should give a signal. Sorry unaware of resistance figure... but "some" would be useful. Honda are an incredible source of info. should you need it... give them a call or email from website.

Are you using a speedo healer?

As you willl need one.

It's MNR that did it this way on AndyD (Rizla's) one.

I Will be using a speedo healer, I haven't got one as yet but the speedo isnt registering anything at all.

Is this normal?
