Speedo acting strange
So today after 3 wks of the bike sitting I take it for a spin and notice that the speedo goes nuts up and down randomly while at a stand still. The bike has a speedo healer but was working normally before.
I'm thinking that I will try and charge the battery and then disconnect the healer and see if it resolves it. the bike is a 98 with analog gauges. anyone ever have this happen? |
Had it happen once with my '98 when the regulator/rectifier went bad. check the connector for burnt wires and or a burnt spot on the R/R, very common problem, I ended up using an R1 R/R after the 2nd one went bad.
|
haha lol if that's the case then it will be about time I put the new one in. I also have a R1 type r/r ready to go. If this is the case i'm lucky the bike didn't crap out while I was far from home...
|
Yep damn lucky I had to jump start mine 4 or 5 times to get home, about a 12 mile trip!
|
go the rr replaced and mounted some new tires aswell. No more funny speedo action. Thanks. (but I think it really was the tires ;) )
|
No problem, glad the tires worked out for ya! :lol:
|
well the speedometer is acting weird again. it bounces all around when the bike is not moving and when it is in motion the speedo is a bit jittery. I replaced the RR last week and the voltages etc are all in spec. any ideas what else could be the matter? THanks.
|
load test the battery?
|
The Speedo Sensor can start acting weirdly when it fails. Check connections from where it goes in rear pot next to CCT, and to where it plugs into loom.
