Re: Easy way to fix speedo with GSXR front
There's no particular size that's best, just that the more powerful they are, the further they can be from the sensor and have it still work... I just chose these ones at random to be totally honest... They're crazily strong (they HURT if you're not careful!) but it makes it so easy to set up.

Re: Easy way to fix speedo with GSXR front
Cool. Oh, and to add another wee thing, some pointies appear to use an 8-pole sensor now instead of 4-pole, which just means "use more magnets". Not enough info to say which is which.

Re: Easy way to fix speedo with GSXR front
Have a look on Ebay for Neodymium magnets, you can get countersunk ones so you can bolt them to the rivets of the the brake disc (as Yorkie Chris advised me) or the solid ones you can glue on.
Chris's bike  I have the counter sunk ones fitted, been there for two weeks now and so far they are still there..... Last edited by Dangerous Dave; 02-12-08 at 06:33 PM. Reason: Link and Picture Added |

Re: Easy way to fix speedo with GSXR front
DD Now you tell me
 & is there 12 brake disc rivets? I was always trying to work with the 5 brake disc bolts (front & rear) & never got a smooth readout.
