Can you open the console. Check the CSOM battery it sound like that could be faulty as it seems to be running flat. If you get it open, check for water, rush and anything that could cause a short circuit. My guess would be there is water in the clocks. With the sensors, generally you can make the connection with a length of wire to bypass it.

Anyone know where I can get Insurance?

The speed sensor is all fixed and working. MOT is booked for today. The dremal tool did the job, here are some pictures... Broken sensor with the signal wire stripped. After the dentistry on the sealed plastic unit. Soldered. Sealed with a pot of melted glue gun sticks. 5 min resin is so expensive (£7), so I purchase 6 glue gun sticks (£1.69) and melted them down in a tin over he cooker hob. Not pretty at all but full working, total cost not including time, £1.80 opposed to £61.

Hi Tommy, What you riding in the photo? Sixsicksex, It's MOT day for me today. Currently repairing a 2005 xt125 x. It's been sitting off six years. It's feeling a little like christmas right not. If it go's through i'm back on the road with my favorite toy! Whats the VFR 400 like to ride?

I'm in Ramsgate Kent

I thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Stuart, I have just purchased an Red XT125 X 2005. It had been sitting for six years and has only done 3300 Miles. I am just approaching the end of the jobs list to get it back on the road. I am currently looking for a speed sensor unit for the bike, as I busted the old one removing it from the fork... MOT is up next. I am base in the South East (UK), and a keen PADI Diver. Always looking for a dive buddy. I am a web and mobile developer by trade. Warm Regards

I agree, it's worth doing some dentistry on the sealed plastic unit. I can't believe new is £61. I will try and post some pictures before, during and after. It's going to be a right pain dremel tooling the sensor. Thanks you for looking to the part on my behalf. What is the top speed of the bike. I haven't had a chance to run it on the road yet.

I apologies for not introducing myself. I will get on and do that in a bit. I'm not accustom to using forums like this. I am more of a stack overflow guy.

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a speed sensor replacement for my XT. The old one was damaged when I was removing it from the mount on the fork. The blue wire was ripped from the terminal. As it is a sealed unit I don't think I can service it. Can anyone suggest a way to replace/fix it? Is there another make or model of bike with a sensor that will fit? I can cut the wires and solider another in its place. Can anyone suggest a bike breakers? (£61 new)... Any suggestions will be helpful. Warm Regards
