    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.

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thank you for that information. I really have no desire to use an aftermarket setup. I'll check into the model year that my used speedo came off of. As I understand it the part number is the same for all non ABS models so, even if I got a new one it might not work. Frustrating, it should not be...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Thanks John, I read that tread about the Fall Detection Switch fixing the problem. Pinwheel had a used one for $5.95 so I just went ahead and bought it. Not much to lose by trying. I did however check BikeBandit and they show a different part number. #T2502405. Pinwheel doesn't list the part...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    Good suggestion, I wish I had that option available. But since the functions were not there with the ABS speedo also I kinda think it's the bike. Pinwheel has a video of it working, so who knows. Thank you,

    Speedometer and Ecm

    Wow, wish I would have seen this earlier. I just bought a speedo from Pinwalls. But the speedo, odometer, fuel gauge and signal canceling switch are not working. They have a video of it working on the bike it came off. I'll need to look into that fall detection switch, how did you discover that...

    Speedo trouble on Touring Model

    I have a 2008 R3 Touring model that I have had problems with the speedo. I have combed this site and seen others have had the same problem that I'm experiencing but I can't seem to find a solution. I had my bike parked outside during a heavy rain storm. My speedo gauge filled up with water. I...
