Hi folks,

Took the advice and now my already beloved mille(only managed to do about 40 miles since i got it due to work and bad weather!!)is hooked up to an optimate 24/7:biggrinThis has stopped the clocks reseting to kmph.

However i have noticed that the speedo doesnt work all the time and reads 0mph regardless of the speed I am doing?????:confusedDo you guys think this is more likely to be a sensor or clocks issue?dunno

Also an aprilia titanium race can and chip are fiited along with K+N air filter but I was told by my mate who was riding behind me that he could smell petrol so I think the bike could be running a little rich?????Was thinking about changing to the standard chip to see if this made a difference:dunno

Thanks in advance for any advice it is always much appreciated:thumbup

The speed sensor runs from the rear wheel, check to see if thats ok first mate

I have dug out my multimeter and I'm going to consult the manual on how to check it

Cheers

I am 99% sure its the sensor. If you need advice on testing it then pm me as I did one recently. I seem to remember Sprocker knows where to get them cheap and its an easy job to change them.:eatcorn

thanks mate going to try and check it tonight with the guidance of a haynes manual.

unsensitive sensor

Right I have established that the speedo sensor is goosed:bawling.
I will need to try and get one to replace it.As i don,t trust any of my local bike garages I am going to go down the self maintenance road so replacing the sensor looks a relatively easy task to break me in!!!!:doug

Next tasks are new chain and sprockets,sprockers airbox pics:thumbup have made me fancy a go at that as well!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Tufnell is what you need for the baseplate ..http://www.directplasticsonline.co.uk/

And if you want to go the ITG filter route you need this link..

Standard one is fine so im told and thats what im running at the mo and dont see any reason to change... you can get a custom map made up but thats down to you m8.. more money that can be spent else where :thumbup

rsvsteve · Mar 21, 2008

M8 dont try the rene conversion if you aint that sure cos its a bit fiddly and you have to be precise on your measurements and i mean precise :roll mine took quite a while so if you want to do badgers mod i think that would be easier... like wot sprocker has done... its up to you m8 :dunno:thumbup

ross.niven · Mar 21, 2008

funnily enough was thinking exactly that myself!!!!!
Cheers for the info:thumbup

You will need a template for the baseplate " which i have " :devious it had to be made up from scratch which took a long time to fettle but once you get that done its plain sailing and the joyouse sound you get makes it worth while too..:thumbup

ross.niven · Mar 21, 2008

It all looks a bit technical and time consuming to me!!!Think I'll save time and money as I already have a k+n and do the other mod.

I'm off to find a speedo sensor and some foam.

Cheers.:biggrin
