Acewell Speedometer Kawasaki adapter

Just started installing mine on my KZ650 and found that the adapter that connects into the wheel drive doesn't fit. I was able to swap the screw on holder from the stock cable with a little sanding and very little work. Just thought I would warn others that they may take some work to get it to fit if you buy the Acewell and don't want to use the magnet pickup.

Sorry, no pics of it installed yet as I am still building a bridge to attach it to.

Which model did you go with?

I've been looking at the 2802-AB (Black Only) for they don't offer here in the States the Billet Aluminum any longer. So I figured for $120, buy the black, strip the paint and buff it out.

Same time, I've already contacted ElectroSport and the new 4000 model is coming out after the first of the year...
Analog RPM meter plus you get volatge read outs....

Please keep us posted on how the unit operates. Speed measuremnt seems to be good enough but there's considerable amount of posts regarding the RPM accuracies.

I wonder if the RPM's are an issue because the KZ fires every stroke like a 2-stroke does. My other guess would be due to interference as the sensor wire is not shielded at all. Once I get it on and all ready to go I will post a follow-up.

Kawi... Well, hows the Acewell speedo working out?

Which unit did you go with?

Any images you can share?

Speed / tach accurate?

Share the news damn it... :laugh:

Bike isn't done yet, but I'll toss you a bone. Here is the installed look. I am working on the wires, headlight mount, and the seat. Almost done.

Have any side profile shots installed?

I was trying to get the billet aluminum but no longer available. You go with Black?

Which model is it?

You're killing me here... hahahaha...

Ok, don't remember the model off the top of my head, probably the 2853 type model in chrome. I have all the dummy lights, tach, speed, and fuel (this will be tricky because the fuel float in my tank doesn't have quite the range needed so I have to see if I can add some resistors to get the range corrected. Anyways, as you can see from the picture, the way I have it mounted would not interfere with the stock headlight setup. I am moving my headlight down and back so clearance could be an issue if I moved the speedo down as well, but I think I will leave it where it is at for the time being (probably). Anyways, here are two pictures from the side to show its position. It really is a clean little unit that looks like it will work and display well and tuck out of the way. One thing though, the mount is pretty much permanent so you are stuck with a one bolt mount that is roughly a 5/16" (sorry, no metric today) diameter hole. I am trying to come up with a way to take care of that, but nothing comes to mind so far unless I get some time on a mill .

Sweet, thanks...

I have been wondering how big the enclosure was and how it would look installed, now I know. And how the hell did you find the chrome one... Good for you.

I'm hoping the new 4000 series will be available in Billet Aluminum and is approximately the same size, truly doesn't matter though for as you did, I will fab a mount. Plus this new series also displays voltage measurements...

As for the digital speedo, it is required in my project for there isn't a front sending unit on the ZX636 front forks/hub.

Once all polished up, that is going to look really nice.

Thanks again,
