Posted November 24, 201212 yr hi i have a yamaha xt 125 r had it for a year and a half now and had issues with my speedometer 1st of all it stopped working so i checked the fuse that was fine,i checked the sensor on the wheel and that was fine so i checked battery that was fine so disconnected it for 10 mins put it back on and the speedo gave me the option to select what mod so i did then it goes off. i thought it was the speedo itself so i bought a new one and it just repeated the same thing. i have no idea what is wrong and need help please anyone
November 24, 201212 yr I only recently found out that this is a common design fault. If you had searched the forum, you would have seen the following threads. And a possible solution by Grouch here: I can feel it, any day now and it's going to be me. I guess I better get ready while I'm ahead
November 25, 201212 yr Had a problem with my speedo too a couple of years ago, i'm pretty sure it's just brake dust and random crap off the road that builds up on the speedo sensor (mounted to/close to the front caliper) try and get a pipe cleaner or some kind of rigid cloth behind there and give it a good ol' scrub! if this doesn't work then it may need replacing as this is a common fault with the XT's.
