650 k5 speedo reading too high (double)
 
Hi i have recently bought a damaged K5 650, one thing that was missing was the clocks,i now have a replacement set but the speedo reads more than double what it should do.

Has anyone got any ideas

Clocks from a different year set up for a different speedo rotor... try a rotor from the same year the clocks came from

Sounds daft, but do you have it set to Kmh?

Any one found the reason for this we now have the same problem after a dealer fitted a new sender.

Just get them to fit a K4/5 rotor and it will sort it out as it has half the number of pick ups on it.

Wrong one fitted. A SV650 K3/4/5 speedo rotor works with four pulses per revolution, while the K6/7/8/9 works with eight.

You need to match the sender on the front wheel to the same spec clocks.
