Replace Speedo Sensor on Fazer 1000 Gen1

[dangerousdave]

I am going to attempt to replace a suspect faulty Speedo Sensor this weekend and believe this to be a bit of a nightmare job.
Any advice on how to get to it, or best tools to use would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

Remove the rear shock, the bolts on the coolant bottle and a good ratchet spanner.
You might be able to do it with out removing the shock, but more room to work with the shock off as you can move the coolant bottle out of the way a bit more and it will gives you an opportunity to check the linkage needle bearing for wear.

Thanks unfazed for the tips.


Undid the right hand side coolant bottle bolt but not the left or the rear shock.
Routing the cable upwards was a hell of a job and i ended up taking a slightly different route as the gap between the frame and the airbox was too narrow for the connector.
Fitting the sensor was ok but I forgot what a nightmare the front sprocket cover is to refit, with the cables outside it.
Also changed the rear brake pads as it's in for an MOT on Friday.


However the bad news is the speedo is still not showing any speed so the sensor obviously wasn't the problem.
So I guess the problem is the speedo itself.
Anyway thanks for the help.
