Hi all

I'm a newbie to this site and will appreciate any help anyone can give.

Right, here's my problem, a while back my speedo went to zero whilst riding, a few kilometres later it came back to normal, it happened twice, same thing.

Last week it packed in totally, I am not a techno wizard or an ace mechanic but will have a go.  Is there any way or test to find out if the speed sensor is working before I buy a new one?  I've checked all fuses, no nipped wires and the toothed cog seems in good order eg no visible signs of being loose.

Bike in question is a 99 xvs dragstar 1100

Thanks in advance.

Hi north/M,  is it a cable driven or electrical, as you say  no broken wires ,and  toothed cog ,  wheres  al the Draggy boys on forum ,?

Hi

Its the electrical driven sensor.

Must be possible to check the voltage coming from the speed sensor, with the wheel off the deck, spin the wheel?
