clarke Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Noticed today on my way to work that the speedo has stopped working & just sits at 0mph (everything else on instrument panel works fine apart from odometer). I know the speed cable has a connection box under the tank which I'm hoping may have come loose when my braided steel lines & risers were added on Saturday, but was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar before I start dismantling the bike? Any comments would be appreciated, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well I lifted the tank and fiddled with the wire but it was fine & still doesn't work - bugger!! Anyone got any other suggestions? All I can think of is to take the front wheel off and check the connections at that end... Had to resort to the other half's 125 for the commute to work today - not as good as my Fazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it could be electrical,,,,,,,,,which im no good at ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case I can always attach a Tomtom and use that as a speedo [though guess the MOT man won't buy that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Wheels Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 In the owners manual link you gave me there is a fuse for (Backup fuse - Odometer and clock ) Worth checking this out first anyway EDIT: its no.7 10amp, under the seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Cheers mate, didn't think to check the owners manual (checked service manual instead). I'll swap it tomorrow to see if it helps as not convinced the neighbours will appreciate me riding up & down to see if it works... (having said that - the numbers on the odometer come on, they just don't move and the needle sits on 0mph which makes me think its the wire or the speed sensor).

2 Wheels Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 i THINK the speed sensor is to do with the Tachometer ( the rev counter ) If this is faulty it says a error code will appear when you turn on the ignition. So mabey it is your wheel connection or the actual wire ! Dont know if the two are related but worth checking i suppose,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wherever the the speed sensor is ! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevIt Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi, Had the same problem with my FZS Fazer 600. It turned out to be the sensor in the front wheel; the plastic rotator has a tendency to snap the pegs, and as such the speed of the rotations isn't recorded, ergo no speed shown. It wasn't an expensive fix - I didn't do it myself, took it to my local parts/service place, and they did it for me. If you check this link: http://www.piaggiospares.co.uk/spares/epc2.asp?PageiD=41&modelID=9655 Part 15 is the bit I'm talking about - hopefully that's all it'll be, especially if your fuse/wires are all where they're 'sposed to be. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarke Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks for all the help. I came across THIS post on the FOC-UK forum last night just before midnight, which as RevIt says is the plastic peg in the sensor. So at midnight I ran out to the garage & pulled the front wheel off and there it was a speed sensor with two snapped pegs... Went to the Yammy dealer on the way to work this morning, £17.50 for a new one but I get 10% off so £15. Only problem now is it won't be in until Tuesday/Wednesday At least I can get out on my 1300 this weekend Thanks for all the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guster Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello I have problems on my fazer 600, 2003 year. The rpm shows 3000 then goes to 0, thens shows real rpm, and again 3000rpm. What is wrong? The engine works fine, just the rpm counter seem to go crazy. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
