    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Hey Kevin, That's great information for others. I installed the ABS version and it didn't work so I assumed that was the problem, when all along it was the Road Speed Sensor. My old speedo worked well except the neutral light was not working. All this for that, I miss the days your could just...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Hello Boog, Thank you for your assistance and pointing me in the right direction. As I mentioned to Kevin it seems my Road Speed Sensor actually failed, no bad wires. I did install a used one and it fixed the problem. I followed your advise and used electrical tape to repair the bad wire on the...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Hello Kevin, You got me going the right direction. I received the used Road Speed Sensor, put it on and all is good. Everything is working! I saw a crimp on the outside wrapping on the new/used sensor so I decided I better take a look inside. Sure enough the ground wire was exposed and frayed...

    Thank you Boog, I did see that there was liquid tape issues in your previous tread. I sure hope I do find some bad wires tonight. Thanks,

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Hello Kevin, Thank you for this valuable information. I did put an ohmmeter on the fall detection switch and it seems to be working, the bike starts. I'm headed where you went with the road speed sensor. I order a used one from Pinwheel that came off the same bike as the used speedo I bought...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thank you Boog, so that's where that darn thing is, I've been looking in the wrong place. I did order a used one from Pinwheel that came off the same bike as the speedo I bought, should have it soon. I'm going to check the wires tonight to see if I have the same problem. Many thanks for the tip...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thanks Kevin, That is interesting, I thought maybe the ABS speedo that I installed that didn't work had fouled up some sensors or something. This helps as maybe the problem was before that installation. Thank you!

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Yes, I understand it's confusing to some. I bought a new 2005 Classic back in 2004 and have had almost no problems. It's getting up there in miles so I picked up this used 08 touring a couple of years ago with low mileage for trips and it's been nothing but problems. I intend to keep the Classic...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thank you, I called two Triumph dealers and they both said plug and play. When I pulled the old speedo I took out the fuel and speed needle trying to get it apart. When I put them back in they didn't work but I chalked it up to me ruining the unit or not getting the needles in straight. The...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thanks for your continued support, it's a 2008 Rocket 3 Touring. I also have a 2005 Classic so I know thedifference. As I mentioned earlier the only thing wrong with the speedo that came off was a blown neutral light. Well, that works on this one but not the speedo, odometer, fuel gauge or turn...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Hello again, I was able to learn the speedo came off a 2008 Touring and that's what I'm putting it on. There has to be another fault somewhere. Thanks for sharing your information.
