Title: Speedo Sensor
Post by: hightower on 19 February 2014, 02:18:09 pm

So, my bike is back together again and it seems fine on first test. However, the speedo wasn't working - took wheel off again and two snapped lugs (apparently a common thing).


Anyone know where to get part 15 on this link?

You mean cheaper than the £19.61 you can get it for by clicking "Add to Basket"?  Couldn't find anything cheaper using the part number 5RB2517G0000

Yeah, that's what I meant :P


Will give it a couple days and see if anyone has suggestions before ordering from there. Can live with no speedo for a day or two.

eBay might have a few options, or a breakers

Wemoto has it at £16.06 (plus postage?)

Just buy that one- it's the updated one where the top end with the lugs is plastic, much more resilient than the entirely ceramic one and cheaper too!

Thanks, ordered from We Moto - was about 50p cheaper.


We have a motorcycle salvage yard about 1 mile away - tried phoning them but would only sell the unit as a whole, and wanted £30 for it.

Ok, part arrived - how easy are these to fit as not sure it's covered in workshop manual? Does the old simply pull out?

It's a nice simple job, if not just a little fiddly making sure that it stays in position whilst you try to get the axle bolt back on when refitting the wheel :) Shouldn't take long though, just make doubly sure that the lugs are sat properly :)

The resistance you feel when pulling out the old one is just the force of the magnets- it's not physically connected to anything!

I've just bought the plastic one in advance. Because my front wheel is coming off for a tyre change, and the ceramic lugs have been superglued back on twice already....
