So, I bought this bike a while back CHEEP, but needing some work (mostly cosmetic). Mechanically it's very sound now, but a coupla minor things still need fixin'. The speedometer & odometer do not work. In the old days a broken cable was the likely culprit and an easy fix, but nowadays newfangled technology uses electrickery and little wires and such.:frown: I noticed a little electronic sensor/sending-unit mounted at the countershaft sprocket, with a little drive socket for the sprocket retaining bolt head. I removed it when I replaced the chain and sprockets and lubed it a bit, to no avail.out: - Anyone know of any incidence of failure in these doohickeys? - Can it be tested for output? - Will a sending-unit from other MY VFRs (or other Honda models) fit? - Anyone live near me that could let me swap 'em out to check? - Any other likely (known) cause for speedo/odo malfunction? I have a wireless bicycle speedo I could use from one of my MTB's, but I'd really prefer to fix it right, and also have an odo to track oil changes, etc.
