I recently changed the front wheel on my 2009 Bonneville SE, due to the original wheel having a pinhole and leaking air. I got a used wheel off ebay and this is holding air, but now the speedo won't work. I'm guessing I've put something back the wrong way round, but what ? Any ideas ? Haven't had chance to have a look yet, but hopefully get it in my mates workshop on Monday.
The speedo on my 2010 T100 ran from the gearbox also - not sure they swapped using the front wheel for the gearbox. Could you take of a picture of the front wheel from the nearside and post it on here so we can have a look. Ideally 2 pics: 1 from from 2/3 mtrs and the other from close up on the hub? It is connected properly at the speedo head I take it?
Thanks thebiglad, here's some photo's... http://i67.tinypic.com/2igewcg.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2z6w1aa.jpg All seems connected properly at the speedo head.
Looking at the pics I'm thinking maybe I didn't get the two tabs from the speedo drive washer into the drive. Looks like the speedo drive only goes half way along the stop on the forks.. If that makes sense ?
It looks to me like the spacer has been installed the wrong way around. As a result the stops on the forks are not meshing correctly with the speedo drive.
Thanks thebiglad. I've come to that conclusion myself. I hope to get it sorted tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
Well, I got it sorted today. I'm almost ashamed to admit what the problem was At least you can have a good laugh at my expense.. Took the wheel off and there was no speedo drive washer. In our haste to get the wheel on, we never even noticed..lol Took the washer out of the old wheel and into the new one, re assembled it and hey presto, one working speedo. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions, they are all much appreciated..
The most important this is that you managed to sort it out the bike is working properly again - YOU WALLY
