Good News and Bad News.
First, the good news. The speedo came this weekend and I was able to get it mounted (and didn't have to cannibalize my Tach). The secret ingredient is a Carlini Paint Saver (PSP-4). I have seen references to the other models they have and that it had to be enlarged. I am happy to say that that PSP-4 works VERY nicely. It has a slightly larger opening that the speedo cup, but I wrapped a couple of rounds of electrical tape just below the speedo bezel and it snugs it up nicely. I was also able to use the existing mount that is part of the console by drilling a new hole in it to accept one of the bolts coming out of the back of the Speedo.
There are correct leads within the wiring harness under the console for always-on Power, switched Power, and Ground. Also, the remote switch that comes with the Speedo fits very nicely into the unused hole on the console.
Now the bad news....
I can't seem to get the speedo to work properly. I have all wires connected per manual and speedo sweeps to start and lights properly.
The problem is that I don't seem to be reading the speed correctly and I also appear to be picking up interference somewhere. Not consistently, but very frequently, I can rev the bike and the speedometer needle moves. Although I went through the calibration setup, I never see more than about 20-30 indicated speed. Mostly, the speed indicated jumps back and forth between 0 and 20-30.
I have completely re-run my sensor pickup wire a few different times thinking that it may have been picking up interference from the coil. I have also re-routed the main power cable (always on) directly to the battery.
Lastly, I have checked the sensor wires and I get a +5v constant on the power lead (as expected), I also see a +5v spike on the other sensor wire (not ground) as the magnet turns past the sensor. I don't seem to be getting any spikes on that wire from just revving the bike.
I am now at a loss as to what might be causing the challenge.
Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
