Faulty K3 Speedo
 
Whilst out on my SV650 K3 today my speedo suddenly started misreading jumping up and down giving much slower readings than I was actually doing. My first thoughts are faulty speedo sensor on the wheel, can anyone confirm my suspicions?

Yup probly the yoke down at the wheel, one or more of the bits has broken off. Happened to me twice so far :rolleyes:

Most likely it is the stupidly soft, made of plastercine, magnet on the wheel. If the tabs have dropped off, it wont spin right. Fix or replace and that should get you speeding appropriately. :D

Thanks for the replies, I will remove it and see if it can be repaired, don't fancy buying a complete new sensor at the moment, just had to pay out on new back tyre on due to a puncture :pale:

Just dropped wheel and removed sensor and all is now clear to me, as you say its the rotor, all 4 lugs lugs have broken off, I will call the main dealers later and see if they have one in

If you can find the lugs, just glue them back on. I used a spot of Araldite and it worked fine again.

It just so happens I have got some Araldite, I'll give that a go, nothing to loose by trying
