Theunis Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi everyone, can somebody please help me out I've rebuild a 8th gen VFR800F I had to import a rear abs speed sensor and speedo cluster. After battling to get that speed indication not sorted out I emailed the supplier in US telling him that the sensor is faulty(tested) telling him I dont get speed. He tells me I'm wrong that's only for ABS. Honda technicians and the manual tells me otherwise. Is the somebody who can confirm where the speed indication come from. The older and non-abs bikes have a speed sensor on the from drive pulley. That's all that I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted April 16, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted April 16, 2023 As mentioned in your other post. Speed is off the ABS sensor from the rear wheel. Nothing like a 6gen. If your ABS is not working is the ABS light flashing a fault code or fully on when riding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theunis Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 The other problem I'm having is the speedo I bought from US is from a NON-ABS bike. I only realized it after I finished the Bike. So I can't see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theunis Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 I actually did the fault finding procedure the manual gives. And it did come out that it looks like the speed sensor is faulty. But I still can't see the ABS and Traction control indications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've purchased a USA AC Standard version panel, then it might not have the Traction Or ABS lights! Have you confirmed both ABS fuses are ok? At the power On test. If you don't see the ABS or Traction lights come on for a couple of seconds then that might explain the instrument panel difference. According to Partzilla.com.The USA VFR800F AC Standard panel part No is 37100-MJM-305 The Deluxe is a 37100-MJM-306 (This is for 2014/2015 which is all that is listed on their site.)

Member Contributer Grum Posted April 17, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2023 I'm sure your problem is all to do with the incorrect Instrument Panel for your bike, and most likely not a faulty Speed Sensor! The speed signal is processed differently on a USA Standard model as there is no ABS modulator, the rear speed sensor is wired directly into the instrument panel then an output from the panel feeds the ECM. The Deluxe version is very different to this. See attached wiring of the two different types. ABS Version. Non ABS Version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is above! You need to fit the correct Instrument Panel Part No. 37100-MJM-306. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Partzilla (Honda Parts website), are specifying the -306 as a replacement for the ABS model. However, in 2016 my Instrument Panel was replaced under Warranty due to condensation forming under the faceplate. I have found the documents for the replacement panel and the Part Number fitted was a 37100-MJM-D11. So definitely go with that one. Note - All Australian 8gens have ABS and Traction control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
