All 2st Speedo cable continuity

How do u check it?

Got sparky at work to repair pick up cable that was broken(both wires) n intermittently makin contact givin me odd speed readings. Wasn't sure which wire was which after plug had cum off. Does it matter? He soldered up n heat shrinked etc makin all look pretty but wen I hooked it up the other day no dice! If incorrect orientation(had 50% chance ôf failure/success) would it not work at all?

Unit itself(trailtech endurance 2) gettin power n was workin fine(110 hours/4000km or so) n would work ok wen I worked out was a break in cable n squeezed it with hand while riding.

Are you wanting a used speedo sensor/cable? Pretty much all of the stock speedo units quit working in the first 6 months so there's got to be a bunch of them that people took off and put on the shelf.

Didn't wanna buy a newy if didn't hav too Doug. Still got unused speedo itself in box in garage. Jus wanted to check the cable to see if it's rooted. I thought u could put a multimeter on each end n it gave a certain resistance(clearly I am no auto sparky!)

Possible? Any auto sparkies or normal sparkies who could vouch for this?

Shawry I just checked my trailtech cable (never fitted to the bike) and best I can tell it's open circuit with no magnet contact and closed circuit with magnet contact. It was a bit fiddley to get the probes onto the connector pins in the plug but I'm sure the probes were correctly positioned.

Most of the time inductive circuits like that have about 130 ohms, if they are open they are bad. I use the ohm meter and spin the wheel and the ohm meter should fluctuate positive and negative as the magnet passes the sensor. I wouldn't assume the sensor is bad if the resistance isn't around 130 ohms until you get the spec from the manual.

Might email trailtech direct n c wat best way to check is. Wanna sell me ya spare cable if mines no good Oldscool?

Rode with a fella that ditched his speedo(ktm) altogether n jus uses a little GPS on the bars. I'm not fussed bout actual/average/Max speed, or ride/accumulated hours more jus the total km to monitor fuel consumption. Mite look into his set up(bout twice size of watch face)

Of course mate, you know how to contact me if ya want it, even if it's just to try as a test.
