I was coming home from work when the speedo suddenly stopped working ie it just displays 0mph.
I have checked the manual so will do some checking and poking around probably at the weekend. I have done a search on the forum but was just wondering if anyone can tell me if its common and what usually causes it and how to fix/prevent it. Possibly speedo drive?? |

Another bump for checking the rotor. They're quite fragile. Get your front wheel out and it should be immediately obvious whether it's damaged or not.

Exactly the same on mine. Rota broke, glued back together with epoxy, worked fine again. The magnet is very soft and easy to damage.

Take out the drive and check the rotor.
If rotor is ok, test the drive as the do fail from time to time. The test takes a basic testing rig and a multimeter, voltage (dc) should be rig supply with the wheel pulsing drive or zero.
