speedo pickup and lead - Lumpy - 25-08-13
a while ago I bought a really good nick 2nd hand speedo pickup unit for the Fazer, I went to fit it today to find the lead is 4 nches too short although the same plug, and the through hole is a few mm smaller in diameter. Bugger. I wonder what the heck bike this is for?

I'd suggest a T-cat, but the front end is entirely different there. Could it be an FZ6 thing?

Fz6 is entirely different. This has a smaller spindle whatever it is. The unit and plug is identical toours, even the sintered spinny bit is the same. I will extend the wires and bore the unit to fit eventually

T'cat is a mechanical speedo- no electric plugs!

According to a current ebay listing, our electronic speedos appear to be shared with 1999-01 TDM850 & 1998-99 XJR1300
Then again if the spindle dimensions are different it may be off something like a 400cc Japanese import model instead

They have changed the construction of the rotor too and it is avalable seoarately for those that have broken theirs
