Default SPEED-O GONE HAY WIRE

Have anyone noticed there speed-o being a little slow or retarded? The other day i was riding and looked down and it said something like 32 mph. then i hit the gas to make a top end run, looked down after i started to go and it read like 25 mph. i thought it was a fluke. yesterday i tryed it again and the same thing happened. it went from 35mph, down to 13mph and then it caught up to 44mph.

how am i to do test and tune if the speed-o aint working?

i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

i just hope its the sending unit, because i know the dash would cost some change.

I'm guessing it's the wire from your speed sensor. With the timing changes with speed sensor. Also your 4wd etc. also is speed sensor related. Also if you have a holeshot mod would by pass the effect on your CDI.

Is your quad wet when the speedo went haywire??? My speedo used to act funny when I washed it...I figured out that the speed sensor wire or DG holeshot wire was getting wet (I had an on/off switch for the holeshot module mounted on my handlebars plastic at that time)...as soon as it dried off, the speedo-worked good again. Now I no longer have that problem b/c I removed the DG holeshot (and installed the Dyna CDI in its place).

Happy trails...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
