Pretty sure we have a mechanical speedometer

I do not believe that our bike has a digitally operated speedo...pretty sure its mechanical

Broom · May 6th, 2009, 02:37 PM

its not digital

M-Oorb · May 6th, 2009, 02:37 PM

Damn you CB...beat me too it...but atleast now I know im correct

...or we both could be wrong

TnNinjaGirl · May 6th, 2009, 02:49 PM

I beat you by like a minute, Matt. Slow poke. hahahahahaha

More likely we are both wrong, but Broom brought up the rear with the same comment so I'd say we are right this time.

Yea well post speed doesnt matter...my bikes green

You never hear about black bike owners having to say how fast they are. We don't need to compensate for anything.

dang.. that sucks. is there anything out there similar to this for our bike?

tinng321 · May 7th, 2009, 03:28 AM

Ah... I did a quick search and got this.
It's from the manufacturer website.
"The DiGi can now also be supplied specifically for bikes fitted with a mechanical speedo."
I'll get some more info.

I wanted one of these also - I seen it on ebay though ... would be pretty handy if it worked and works properly with no bugs ... wonder how hard they are to be installed. Keep us posted.

With the Datatool or the Acumen gear indicators, you need to get the add-on speed sensor if you've got a bike with a cable-driven speedo:

Datatool (see last page):

Acumen:

http://www.acumen-electronics.co.uk/...rade_Kit_30101

On either one, there are little magnets that go in the hex-key recesses of your front (or rear) brake rotor bolts and then you mount the sensor to pick up on those as they rotate around.
