Hello all
My speedo stopped working today. It was fine yesterday!!
The lugs don't look broken on the speedo drive. The Odo works fine as does the Rev counter and fuel gauge
I can't remember on the fazer of the needles go right up and down when you first turn the bike on?
Anyone know of a fix for this problem??

If the lugs are ok next thing to check is the lead that runs from the wheel to the clocks.make sure its not trapped anywhere or rubbing on something.check closely around the brake caliper............
-
I have checked the lead and that is ok Also. Not trapped anywhere etc
Also done a tips check and it reads 5000k which I understand is all correct
-
You say the odo is fine, so the mileage reading gets higher as you drive along the road? In that case the sensor and wiring is OK. Sounds like it is the speedo head itself that's the problem. The needles don't do a sweep test when you turn the ignition on

My 98 boxeye doesn't do a needle sweep
-
I have just checked the odo and it's not recording mileage now
-
If the ODO isn't working and the lugs are fine, look for a chaffed wire between the hub and the head unit.

Hello all, thanks for those that replied to my post you are appreciated,
When we mention lugs here are we talking about the ones that located the speedo drive on the fork leg? Or are there ones inside the actual speedo drive? I havn't taken the wheel off and looked inside the drive?
-
Ah......you need to take the wheel out to look at the lugs........common problem on these bikes...

Oh really, I wondered why fowlers have 57 in stock and my local dealer that doesn't stock anything has one in stock. It must be a problem, I will investigated and let you all no. Thanks everyone

Fowlers supply bike shops as well with original parts, that's why they'll have a lot of stock.

I normally have at least two in stock at any one time. they are know for breaking up, especially if someone who does not know about them has the wheel out.

Well I rode in this morning and it started working again all of 1min then it's stopped again!! I haven't had time to take the wheel off and look yet though
