I spent a couple hours yesterday fitting the old speed sensor. It's really awkward to get to. I had to remove the mudguard and the splash plate then disconnect and move the turn signal unit just to get access to the sensor which sits on top of the gearbox.
After that it was just a case of splicing and soldering in the connector, plugging it in to the stock sensor, putting everything back together again and firing it up. I actually started the engine with the muduard off and sitting on the seat just to see if the unit was getting a signal.
It was, so I tightened everything back up and drove round the area where my lock-up is. I went about ten meters and got up to 210 miles an hour. Weee!
So, first thing this morning I rode along the road to where I have measured a mile and set the calibration.
It seems to have worked OK although I've no idea how accurate it is. The mile I measured was by the car's speedo so that could be out too.
Next time I'm riding with some one I'll test the speed by getting them to ride for a distance at a steady rate.
At least I have some idea how fast and far I'm going!
