She's looking might fine, mighty fine in deed.

I never got a chance to post up pics of the bike completed. Well 99% anyway. Took these today.

Thanks Gabe! for your help with this build!!!

And a close up:

Thax...here´s two pics the Acewell speedo installation.
Used the backwheel for the pickup.

Some riders have pluged the battery sensor wire back into the harness after finding a 12 volt source(I don't like doing this as it may cause problems later on).

I did that on my GPz 1100, connected the wire (pink in my case) the battery sensor plugs into to a switched 12V source - ran it like that for 4 years without any issues until I switched to an Acewell gauge that doesn't have the warning light.

Hey,
Got some small stuff sorted.
Hooked up the Acewell speedo, got the offset sprocket in place, sorted out the front end etc.

Somewhat kind of hard to say based on one fact alone... INTERMITTENT!

This is a pisser for electricians, electronic technicians and engineers alike... Damn thing could work through all the testing you could throw at it... You think you have it figured out, it happens again... :laugh:

You could run through the static timing procedure and see if your +12Vdc doesn't come on but I'd believe you most likely just be wasting your time...

Now if you had a digital tach, it may be simpler due to my Acewell tach conductor is soldered into coil one pickup... This is how the digital tachs work, count the pulses thus rpm.

When it buggers out on you, your tach should not show RPM...

One thing to keep in mind here.... It's a UN-common failure for both pick ups and coils in your situation to fail... Thus the +12Vdc connection is a good starting point...

Disconnecting and reconnecting all your electrical connections on the electrical panel may be a smart move as well...

Also, insure your frame/engine ground is clean and intact... Not broken, oxidized, rusted etc....

Good luck!

Yeah I agree...I'd much rather use your method as opposed to the magnetic pickup. It sounds like the Acewell with the modified S10 is the way to go.

You technically could I guess, but you'd still have to grind down the lip on the acewell drive a little. That's because the threads themselves are of a smaller ID than the lip OD.

But I'm sure it shouldn't be hard to find someone with an old speedo cable to give you. Even a new one is only $12. Worth it in my view, this way is much cleaner than the magnetic pickup.

I just made the S10 connector fit my KZ650B1 other day. You need an old speedo cable. You cut the old cable and take off the nut that attaches to the speedo drive. Then you take the nut off the acewell pickup. I sanded out the inside lip of the stock nut to fit the acewell sensor body, and then the lip on the acewell pickup has to be ground down to fit that into the kawi nut. If that doesn't make any sense ask me some questions to clarify.
