GSXR front end speedo drive questions.

So i have been thinking about doing the GSXR front end swap for sometime now but i wanna make sure eveything is spot on in my head before i start investing.
So the big problem i have been reading is the speedo. Is it possible to do the front end swap but use the SV1000 speedo? If so how do i fit an SV1000 speedo to a 650, if not, why not?

Cheers

heheheeeee. my kit almost done

you have to drill/tap the sprocket shaft to use GSXR/SV1000 etc.etc speedo drive and the pulse don't work with later gen SV as it has 8

here is a rough (test piece) of what it will look like:



the finished items will look better as the disc will be made with recesses for the magnets.

When I did my front end swap I had the speedo problem too...

I've got a K4 SVS and use a gear tooth sensor connected to the existing wiring and use 4 magnets in the recesses of the disc on the front. It gives an accurate reading and has been reliable for months now

Very pleased with the overall result

yup that works perfect but you have to keep buying OEM discs as most of the aftermarket ones have odd number of bobbins.

If you're careful you can put the pickup inside the front mudguard - by far the neatest solution.
