pofarm Posted March 30, 2013 #1 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 #2 Posted March 30, 2013 It sounds like the speedo sensor is faulty or is making a poor connection. Mike
dingy Posted March 31, 2013 #4 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 #5 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 #6 Posted April 1, 2013 I took a 200 mile ride today and the speedo worked fine. Problem solved.
