When I put the front end back together after the spill, I went for a 40 mile test drive and everything worked, but a week later I took off again and no speedo. It's electronic with a speed sensor driven by the front wheel, and wired back to one of the computers, I guess.
Does anyone know how to test the speed sensor? I don't know if I put something together out of spec or if it's just a coincidence...:unsure:

Do you have a factory service manual? I would imagine that if there is a way to test it, they would tell you there.

I have one for the 1200 on pdf. The electrical seems right, but no specifics on testing the unit. I don't know if this one is a hall effect sensor, small generator, or something totally different.

I have a factory service manual in PDF. it's nearly 90 megs however. Wonder if I could email it?

there's a very well documented process for diagnosing the speedometer.

If it's too big, I wonder if it can be broken into sections? I downloaded mine a chapter at a time.

Here's the drill:

GO to www.cascaderangeriders.org/KawaSixesFiles/

The user name is "KawaSixes" I will PM the password to any one interested. Some how I worry that to post username and password in the same post would invite problems.

Log in and you will find all my Kawasixes files which you can download at your leisure. Unfortunately there can only be one user with the same name at a time so you may have to be patient.

JJ, I sent you the password already.

Good Luck
