Member Contributer JZH Posted October 24, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 24, 2014 As the title says, no speedo or odometer read-out. Checked the plastic piece--looks perfect. The needle just lifts up to about 5mph, then drops to 0, and stays there. I think I had to tap into the pink wire when installing the PCV, but i wouldn't have cut it. And i would have noticed the speedo being dead when i last rode this bike 18mos ago, which was after I had installed the PCV (which is not connected at the moment anyway--I am using a PCIII). Sensor can be tested, I think. But it's most likely a wiring issue--this time! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted October 24, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks to a tip from Jim (SA1713), I now have a working speedometer! Apparently, connecting even an otherwise disconnected PCV to the VFR's pink speedometer sensor wire results in a dead speedo/odo. As soon as I pulled the pink wire from the PCV, my speedometer began functioning again. Then I thought that maybe that was the reason the PCV wouldn't work, but a short ride revealed that the PCV still caused engine stumbling even with the pink wire disconnected. Teething problems! (Which, unfortunately continue in other areas...) Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
