Hi all, unfortunately my reliable Fazer has decided to no longer show me my speed. I tried looking through all the wiring and couldn't find anything wrong and all the cables are corrosion free, in the end its ended up at my local garage. They've gone through and found it needs a new Speedo Drive Sensor thingum which is quoted at £93 Obviously they suggested looking elsewhere to see if I could get hold of a second hand replacement so my question is has anyone had to try and find one and how much did it end up costing you?
John: I actually tried going to The Bike Hut today but they were closed (arrived at like 2pm) so I guess I'll have to try Monday and a bit earlier as I doubt they will be open over the weekend.
Hi People have glued them back together in the past with araldite. ATB YFM
Crikey, is it not just the part that goes into the wheel with the 2 lugs that is broken?Have you, or anyone, had the wheel off recently? The lugs break easily if not lined up correctly.Take the front wheel off and look at the inside of the sensor, it'll be obvious if the lugs are broken. If they're not, line them up properly and have a ride to test it again, you may have just jammed them in the wrong position and got away with breaking them?Have a look at #15 on this:http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/epc2.asp?modelID=9655&PageiD=41&m=YAMAHA+FZS600+FAZER++++1999+METER&uID=0

Took the diagram from the above web address to the garage and they confirmed that although Part 15 is missing one lug and ideally should be replaced, that it is in fact part 14 that is at fault and needs replacing. Although the guy suggested that part 14 usually comes with part 15 as a set (but you can buy part 15 separately if necessary)Time to go hunting I guess...
