Hello all
MY 2012 650 is causing me a headache. I've had it for 1500 miles and it's great, then went to Scotland last weekend....
Thirty miles of rain up the M6, and the speedo started fluctuating random speed figures, which gradually reduced until it was showing zero, and the odometer/trips stopped recording.
Two days of dry weather followed, and still no speedometer readings.
Heavy rain the next day, and I got a perfectly functioning speedometer and odometers for about twenty miles, then lost them again for the remainder of the trip.
The forum threads here lead me to believe the front wheel drives the signal for the speedometer.
I've had the connection apart from the front wheel sensor (a bitch to access) and put it back together. I raised the front wheel off the floor, and spun the wheel, speedometer continues to read zero.
I spun the rear wheel out of curiosity, and got a speedometer reading.
I haven't ridden the bike on the road to see how long the speedometer works for (yet).
As an aside, there has been no ABS fault showing at any point, and the ABS has been tested deliberately by braking and is working correctly.
Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
