pofarm Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I got a Vmax geared Royal Star final drive from John at RMSportMax. I got it installed and finally got to take it out for a ride yesterday. The speedo worked fine for the first 5 miles or so, then quit when the bike was under acceleration. It still worked during decel. Today I took it out again and same thing. What could be causing this?
MikeWa Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 It sounds like the speedo sensor is faulty or is making a poor connection. Mike
dingy Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It has a sensor like the RSV in the final drive housing. At least the 97 RS I am using parts of does. Gary
pofarm Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 I got it figured out. The sensor was too far away from the pinion gear so it didn't pick up the pinion teeth as they passed it. I filed down the mounting surface a bit at a time and test rode it after each attempt. I believe it is now going to work. I will know more after I take it for an extended ride tomorrow.
pofarm Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 I took a 200 mile ride today and the speedo worked fine. Problem solved.
