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?

No they are not,
i didn't know you could do that
Thanks

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

.. take it back to the dealer

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.
