Electric Speedometer conversion to Mechanical

20 Aug 2011 23:46

I recently replaced my speedometer sensor, and after only 100 miles of riding, this sensor went bad. I'm considering replacing the electrical system with a mechanical cable speedometer. Does anyone have any experience with this and know if it will work?

Thanks.

I don't know about your Suzuki, but my KZ650-C1 came with a mechanical speedometer.

Please add your bike's year/model to signature line, then dummies like me won't make stupid jokes.

Manual tach usually requires an engine head that accommodates a tach drive, and also an exhaust cam with the screw gear to turn the tach drive shaft.

Also need the tach drive components.

Good Fortune!
