2000 Suzuki SV650 (Y) - Speedometer Not Working

[bezsv650]

The Speedometer just stopped working for me. The dash lights and revs are still working. Can anyone help me diagnose this? I wouldn't mind replacing with a Trail-Tech but it looks a little complicated.

I would start by checking the speed sensor connection block. I have a feeling the sensor or rotor does fail, too.

the rotor in the wheel is plastic and can easily break the tabs off, which will make the speedo stop reading anything.

was the front tyre changed recently?

Can you show me the part on the picture so I may be clear on what I'm looking for .

I think this is the rotor

The sensor and rotor are 27/29 on the diagram, but the wiring isn't shown. I think it connects to the wiring loom in or near the headlight.

I wish, I need to get round to that too! Just stopped working in the middle of a ride.

Is it just the speedometer, or has the odometer stopped changing as well?

Yes, Odometer doesn't work too

In that case I think you need to get the connector block in the l/h front of the loom apart. I had the same thing for a while until I cleaned the contacts in this block and gave them a protective coat of ACF50.
