Speedo on my SK3 stopped working

[speedyctr]

Only had it for a few months but the tyre was not new when i got it. It sounds like thats the most likely cause of damge and it's taken a while for mine to break.

I am going to order a new magnet and hope there is no lasting damage to the unit otherwise my next post will be in the wanted section

It can work for a while as all the loose bits act as resistance to the rotor it would have gone next time you changed the tyre anyway

Just an update rotor went in and speedo now works

Oh poo, my rotor let go today while out for a ride. I was too tired to check the wheel when I got home after a lovely 100 miles, half of which was with out speedo!

Never realised just how much I rely on knowing how fast or slow I am going until my rotor packed up. When I took the forks apart last week, I found that the teeth had snapped off again. Looks like the glue failed me this time. Bad show Suzuki for making more parts out of that special Suzuki cheese!

Time to phone the Brother in law and order a new part. Most upset.

Anyone know if the K3 magnet is different to the others in the range or are they all the same?

Cheers you lovely, shiny people.
Hugs

On the Robinsons website there is only the option for 99-02 IIRC so i emailed them and they confirmed it was the same for a K3. The part code is 34983-21E00.

Is there an alternative to the fragile suzuki one ?

I spoke to my Brother in Law who works for Fowlers in Bristol and he did not know of a alternative. However, by his own admission this does not mean that one does not exist somewhere.

I now have a new cheese one and took extra special care when fitting it. Speedo now works again.
