SV speedo and GSXR forks?
Hi, could anyone point me to a supplier with sensor/magnets kit to get my speedo working with gsxr forks? I actually managed to cut/grind the original sv sensor out of the speedo unit and if I wipe a magnet past it something registers on the dash. If I mount some strong magnets on the disc and mount this close by, might it work?
I am presuming 4 magnets are required? 2004 pointy. Thanks in advance to all. |

Just make sure that you get the sensor the right distance away, because If it's to far away away the speedo will read wrong.

Re: SV speedo and GSXR forks?
When I used 4 magnets mine only worked under 20mph or so, after then it just jumped all over the place.
So I used 8 instead alternating the polarity each time, hasn't missed a beat since. I used GSXR sensor of ebay for about 5 quid, but I guess the sv one will work, don't know where you would mount in though... |
