Step 1: Preparation
Before you start installing the new speedometer, make sure you have all the required tools ready. This includes a wrench, a screwdriver and possibly pliers. You should also have the reinforced speedometer wave ready.
Step 2: Remove the old speedometer wave
Open the motorcycle cladding to get access to the speedometer wave. Loosen the screw on the speedometer and carefully pull out the old speedometer. Make sure you also solve the connection to the gear.
Step 3: Inserting the reinforced speedometer wave
Use the new, reinforced speedometer to connect to the gear. Make sure you sit firmly and take the other end to the speedometer. Attach the wave there with the screw.
Step 4: Checking the connection
Check the connections both on the speedometer and on the gearbox to ensure that the speedometer wave is installed correctly. Make sure that there are no sharp kinks or twisting in the shaft.
Step 5: test run
Start the motorcycle and watch the speedometer. Make sure that the speed is displayed correctly and the speedometer wave works perfectly.
Step 6: Care and maintenance
In order to extend the lifespan of the speedometer wave, you should regularly check whether it is right and has no signs of wear. Clean the connections and smear the shaft if necessary.
How often should I check the speedometer wave?
It is recommended to check the speedometer wave at least once a year or in front of longer trips to ensure that it works perfectly.
Can I replace the speedometer work myself?
Yes, replacing the speedometer wave is a relatively simple task that most motorcycle owners can carry out themselves provided that they have the right tools and instructions.
