Title: Rear disk and speedo sensor's Post by: BRH on March 25, 2012, 11:16:00 AM Hi, can someone help, Iv brought a new wavy rear disk for the M1100, but it hasn't got the 4 metal studs for the speedo to read, just 4 holes. So I used 4 stainless steel allen key bolts though the holes that look ok, but the sensor doesn't seem to read them, so my queston is, what metal do I need to use for the sensor to see them ?
Any help would be great. Thanks. Title: Re: Rear disk and speedo sensor's Post by: Speeddog on March 25, 2012, 11:17:48 AM You need regular steel, not stainless.

Some stainless is, but you'd have an easier time finding a plated mild steel bolt. I think one of the four will do it...I could be wrong about that.

[thumbsup]

If it's got 4 bolts, than it's a SSSA If it's got 6 bolts, than it's a DSSA and the speedo is specific to each type of swingarm. As the speedo is counting the # to determine a full revolution of the wheel. Woulda made more sense to use just 1, but that's not the case...

My 999 wheels with the 5 bolt brake disk read about 20% low compared to my 6 bolt stock disk. It's SpeedoHealer time! |
