Does it come with a bracelet too mount on
@@chrisjones5033 mine did not, but I think the newer ones come with a sensor bracket at least.
@@MotoMango thank you
Where did you get your Mount from
@@chrisjones5033 I made it myself using 1/8 inch steel I believe.
RED - Power to speedo all time
GREEN - Ground
BLACK - Power while running
BLUE/WHITE - Gas gauge
LIGHT BLUE - Right signal
ORANGE - Left signal
BROWN/WHITE - Light signal (low beam?)
BLUE - High beam
BLACK/YELLOW - RPM
RED/GREEN - Neutral
3 Pin - Speed sensor
6 Pin - Gear indicator
What if your gas sensor has 2 wires
@@zachzat1581 What bike is it? Maybe one of them is ground, try and measure with a multimeter on circutary mode, and put one pin in the frame and check if you get a beep from one of the wires
Thank you man! I just figured out my speedo wirings with your help. All wire colors didn't match for me, but this video still was super helpful!
Glad I could help! Cheers!
Dude! Awesome! I ordered this exact one and it came with a make connector I have to switch out and needed help with! Thanks a lot, you got my sub!
Happy to help! :)
Dude this helped so much I gave up last season on trying to get it on my tu250. I appreciate the electrical mapping!
Happy to help bro!! 🤘
I just got one of these and have been searching for tutorials. Thanks!
No problem! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help!
@@MotoMango I haven’t been able to figure out how to get the fuel indicator to stop blinking. How do you add resistance?
Awsome Zach! Nice montage and nice passion you got there my friend. Nice workshop also. I think this channel have pretty good potentiel to grow up
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Jean. I really appreciate your kind words :)
Yes, very helpful thanks. I just received one of these today so hopefully I can get it hooked up good. 👍
Happy to help!
legit doing gods work, mine is one the way! thanks in 2023
Glad to help!! 👊🍻
Your intro is awesome! Nice work
Thanks so much!
First!
Hehe. Never done that before. Exciting stuff, my dude! Looking shnazzy.
Thanks, Tim :)
cool stuff bro
Thanks bro!!
Love this speedo. Bought it for my Triumph Legend TT. However, it is a 3 cylinder bike and I believe this Speedo accommodates 1, 2, and 4 cylinder bikes. Would you recommend I connect it up as a 2 Cylinder and rpms will just be a tad low and slightly inaccurate? Any wisdom there would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah, I would just do that if I were you. Not the end of the world if the tach is slightly off :) I mostly listen to engine to know when to shift anyways.
Wow looks nice I have question on my 2016 fz07 I identify right left turns and high light how you identify the others like tachometer singnal and neutral light thank you for your video .
YOU ARE THE MAN .......THANK YOU
Happy to help!
Hi! I’m having such a hard time wiring everything together, I have the same gauge you have. What wires from the bike go to the respective wires on the gauge? I would really appreciate your help, thank you!
Do you have the same bike too? You need a wiring diagram for your bike to know what wires go to which gauge wires.
Have a 1989 s10 blazer but Speedo is messed up would love to buy one of this electric speedometer but gonna have to rewire all wires cuz on my blazer last owner was gonna customize on inside so all wires are cut.. Will this speedo work
It will!
What wire on the speedo lights up the display??? Help me please
It's literally in the video. Black and red
Hello thx mate! I can’t seem to open it up, I need to turn the interior 180 degrees to fit my bracket … and with what do you attach your magnet and sensor? Thx!
I attached the magnets to my front roeder! I used super glue as well just in case the magnets wouldn't hold at high speeds. I fabricated my own bracket that to attach the sensor. It's at the end of the video if you wanna see how I made the bracket.
Wud it work when power is only supplied by alt/generator? (Kickstarter no battery)
As long as it's a 12v system I would think so yeah
Are you using power from bike to cluster or the grounds for each function. I have a 87 sporster and everything has a ground and power wire including each signal
I'm using the power and ground from bike.
Do you when the width of the speedometer? I'm trying to relocate a speedo onto the side of my shadow and each dimension seems to differ depending on what link you lick on amazon? Thanks!!
I measured a diameter of 9.3 centimeters or 3.6 inches :) Thanks for watching!
hi I am installing the speedometer on my Bmw k100
but I can't get the tachymeter to work and the gears enter neutral but not the gear numbers can you help me with some advice
does your bike have a digital or mechanical tachometer system? Find your repair manual for the bike to get a wiring diagram to know where and what color your gear wires are.
zup i bought the same speedometer but i ain´t getting the rpm gauge to work, i have hooked everything up besides the netural lamp, if you got time can you try pulling it out and se if it works on yours, thanks
yeah, my tachometer is working. what year is your bike?
@@MotoMango it´s not a bike it´s a car got another gauge hooked up and it´s working but not this one
Hi Mot Mango, I do have problems with the RPM signal. Do you know if the tachometer needs a plus or a minus signal? Of course it has plus and minus generaly but the RPM signal it self, must it be plus or minus. thanks in advance
It should have a positive signal, the speedo cluster should already be grounded.
Hey i am fitting this to my bike atm. Can the power wire from the bike connect to both red and black power wires on the speedo?
yup!
Hello, there’s two wires on my diagram for my bike, brown (which is shared with the oil pressure) and light blue (which goes straight to the neutral signal) BUT I’ve read that there’s something I have to do with the ground to add a really or something . Any idea on what I should do?
Are you talking about for you gas gauge? Ground that wire out or add resistance to it if you don't actually have a built in gas gauge
How do you get the gas gauge to work when your gas sensor has 2 wires ?
This bike didn't have a gas sensor? I just hooked up the gas gauge wires to power and ground, but the bike didn't have an actual gas gauge in the tank.
which CDI wire did you attach the yellow \ black tach wire to ? Or is it the coil you attach it to ? I have a 1980 Suzuki GS 1000
My bike had a tach wire in the stock wiring diagram. All I had to do was splice into the stock rpm wire. You could attach to coil since I'm assuming your bike's stock tachometer was mechanical.
yes its stock , But I made my own wire loom and I put a Dyna ignition on it . Thanks for the reply..I will try the coil.@@MotoMango
I got the same one 3 months ago and on the diagram manual it says blue is high beam however there is no blue wire on the nine wire connector???
You're gonna have to test them all then and see which one it is. Hook up the ground wire to negative point on your battery, then test each other wire to the positive side of the battery and you'll see what it does on the speedo.
@@MotoMango thank you so much for your help Im gonna do exactly what exactly what you said again thank you....
Hey Moto Mango. Subscribed. Loving the build.
Trying to figure out the Tachometer portion of this guage. I have a 1980 CB750 and thought I hooked the Tach wire to the right place...but I'm getting nothing. Where exactly did you hook your black/yellow wire to?
Thanks, Jackson! I really appreciate that! Well since my Honda CB750 is a 2003, it already had a "digital" tachometer. So all I had to do was solder it to the existing RPM wire on my bike. Since your tacho was mechanical you'll have to hook it up elesewhere. Where did you hook it up? I've heard a few different ways to hook up the tach wire for older bikes. The main way is to splice the RPM wire into your pick-up post.
@@MotoMango Ahhhh there's the problem. Mine's an '80. I tried doing one of the wires going from the spark unit to the coils... nothing. Then tried wrapping the wire around spark plug wire. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
So you already tried splicing the rpm wire into your pick-up post?
Whats a pick up post? Thanks!
my honda cb400sf is the one without fuel indicator. do you know if i could buy this speedometer and have the oil/ fuel indicator?
You'd have to install one of those gas gauge sensors in your gas tank.
Thanks for the review, it's compatible or matching with Honda shadow 750?
totally!
What is the resistor number you put in the fuel indicator? And what color of the wire did you put the resistor? Please answer my question, since this is the problem i have.
Does your bike have a fuel gauge system? I just grounded out the fuel gauge cause my bike didn't have one.
@@MotoMango there is none, i have to convert and put gas floater, my problem is the fuel indicator only blinks, i have seen in other videos that u needed to put resistor to make the fuel bars appear, maybe you knew?
Thanks for the tutorial. When you say the red wire is "power to the speedo all the time" what do you mean by that and how would you wire it? Would you just run a wire to the positive terminal of the battery separate from the ignition wire? Wouldn't that drain your battery constantly? Even if you add a switch to this wire I don't see how that's different from the ignition power source. My speedo seems to work fine with just the black ignition wire hooked up and powers on but will my settings not be saved?
I think it means power to the speedo with key ignition whether bike is on or not.
yeah, don't wire it straight to battery, it will just always be powered and drain the battery
How did you hook up the digital speed sensor cable?
I made a bracket for the sensor to sit right next to the front brake disk. The speedo sensor plugs directly into the speedo. It's the 3 pin connector. It's a plug in and play from the start.
You had a picture or video on it?
GREAT Video!, I always though there was some voodoo that made speedo's work. A little behind the magic view.
Wow! Watching my super old videos haha thanks for watching bro 👊🍻
I just purchased a digital aftermarket and really have no idea how to determine what wires go to which on my 1980 kz1000. I do not have the original guages. Any tips with helping my figure out this wiring mess????
You need the wiring diagram for your bike to know what your bike's wires do. As for the aftermarket speedo, you can always hook them up to a battery and see what they do on the speedo display. Hope this helps!
Didn’t get a chance to see the whole bike but those tool drawers are tight!
thank you!
Wonderful information on the speedo! Please let me know if you know what wires go from my 05 HD Sportster XL1200C to the speedometer.
I really have a hard time with it as I am trying to use the speed sensor original to the bike but I need to know what wires on the bike goes to the three on the speedometer.
I have the Neutral figure out, I have the turn signals set up and high beam. My bike doesn’t have a gear indicator so I didn’t connect those. The bike doesn’t have fuel gauge either so I didn’t connect that.
The only one left are from the bike which the diagram says it’s “Serial Data” a light green with a violet stripe and a brown with the violet stripe. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've never worked on Harleys so I really can't be too much help. You need to get a service manual for your specific motorcycle and take a look at the wiring diagram. It will make your life much easier 👊 The wiring diagram will tell you exactly what each wire on your bike is for.
@@MotoMango thank you for reply I understand. I do have my motorcycle’s wiring diagram, but still so don’t know the connection from wire to wire. Since I got quite a few right, I tried process of elimination. Still didn’t get it right.
I keep searching TH-cam to see if anyone have uploaded an install for the Harley. Nothing yet.
Again, thank you very much for your reply.
You can always give power to a wire and see what illuminates on the speedometer. Do you have your stock speedometer?
@@MotoMango I do have the stock speedometer but the connection from wire harness goes to the motherboard inside the stock speedometer. I’m gonna try powering the cable to see what illuminate
That's what I would do 👍
Does it come with a bracket too mount it
I made my own brackets
Where on the bike do you run the black and yellow rpm wire too? Thank you, cx500c
I was able to wire the yellow/black wire straight into my bike's tach wire (my bike is a 2003 so the tach was already digital). The other ways I've heard of people wiring in the tach/RPM wire if your bike is older is to hook it up to your ignition coils or pick-up posts. Hope this helps!
I have a 1980 XJ650 and connecting it to one of the pickup coil wires worked for me
Hey I’m installing this on a 212cc minibike, and am having trouble with the tach wire and switching the speedo back into one cylinder mode. Any advice?
From what I've heard you can't switch the speedo back to 1 cylinder mode after you've switched it off 1 cylinder mode. As for the tach wire, what year is your bike?
@@MotoMango homemade motorbike running a 212cc predator engine, standard minibike engine with a performance coil off amazon. Ive also thought about resetting the speedo, just haven't tinkered enough. ive posted about the bike on my channel if you are interested in what it is
Dude! Chinese Translations!!! Wow! That's Awesome! I own one for my 99 Suzuki Bandit 600 and my wiring diagram stated the Black wire in the 9 pin connector was the "Door 🔐 Lock" on a gauge meant for a bike??? SMFH! But none of the wiring was correct on the paperwork that came with the gauge and I spent about 3 hours of my life with figuring out how they wired the gauge and then the blue plug on the suzuki bandit which is really easy to figure out without a wiring diagram, just trace the individual wires to their corresponding ends! And write everything down of course so that you have a realistic reference and you won't burn your bike to the ground! Or melt your new Chinese gauge! Good video though. Was scrolling through suzuki bandit gsf videos and came across this one and had a chuckle 😃!
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching :)
Did your bike have an odometer cable ? If yes how did you permanently remove it from the engine did you use a block off plate ?
Mine did not have an odometer cable. I think people just put a fabricated plug into the odometer cable hole.
Will this work from a rectifier without ignition and battery
I'm not sure on that one
I bought the exact tech as this one n my RPM dose not work, Dose your RPM works?
It does, it wired it into my stock/OEM RPM wire.
Great video. Thanks so much. Mine is having an issue. Where the speedometer panel will turn off after a while. Any idea why it might be doing that?
where do you have the two power to the speedo wires hooked up?
@@MotoMango honestly not sure. A friend helped wire the bike. Where should they be going? The red and black one right?
@@YahyaHaqiqi Yeah, you need to look at your wiring diagram for your bike in your repair manual. Then you know which wires are your stock speedo power wires.
Where did you hook up the black/yellow rpm wire to? Thank you great vid!
My bike already had a digital tacho set up so I just had to splice it to my factory RPM wire.
Hello, I wanted to buy this same speedometer but I notice that you said in the video that you don’t have a gear indicator so it won’t work for you. What does that mean? I just bought my first bike and the speedometer that’s already on the bike does not display what gear I’m in other than the neutral light. So I was thinking of buying the speedometer that does tell me what gear I’m…so I’m a little confused on rather or not I should buy it.
my old speedometer, the factory one by default did not display gears
@@MotoMango Thanks for your reply! So if my bike doesn’t display it then this digital wouldn’t either, correct?
@@itsmerebecca9 correct!
I NEED HELP !
First i had connected both [+]wires (red and black) at the key of my moto so when i turn it on it should move the needle up and down and at the same time the light turnes on, but the settings on the speedo's menu resets every time i turn off the key... 2 days ago I changed it, the red wire is always attached to the battery [+]pole and only the the black wire is on the key so the speedo is always powered on and displaying all gears, speed and gas level but with no backround light (the backround light is the black wire which is powered only if the key is on) Everything was running perfectly but the other day the battery was dead meaning that the speedo shouldn't be always attached on the [+] pole but if it is not always attached the speedo menu settings resets!
Did i do something wrong ?? Please I need your help
[my English is not perfect, if you don't understand anything let me know]
Yeah, you can't hook up directly to the battery because that draws power constantly and kills your battery. Are you making sure you save your settings after you calibrate them? That could be why its resetting every time. Check out my other video on how to calibrate this speedo.
@@MotoMango I just checked your other video but it seems not to be exactly the same on the calibrate menu (mine does not have a code to get in settings and there are about 5 menu [one for speed, one for rpm...]) but o don't think saving settings is my problem since it works perfectly when i set them but if I cut the power it resets. I'll try some combinations to see if it saves settings on an other way but if you think anything else it would be really helpful. Thanks
Hey man awesome video! Do you know if there is an oil pressure light on the speedo? Thanks!
There is not sadly :(
You can get a single oil pressure light switch by itself from Amazon for like 8 bucks! That's what I did :)
Right! Thank you, that's what I'll do!
@@simontremblay6204 I got this Speedo (different brand though). My bike doesn’t hVe a gas gauge but does have a oil pressure gauge. I plan on hooking the gas sensor on the Speedo to the oil pressure gauge. It’ll flash low fuel when I have high oil pressure.
Hi! got the same speedo, does the fuel gage have to have any voltage on it? When I short it to ground, it still stays blinking
Yeah, you need to have some resistance reading or it will blink.
@@MotoMango Thank yoy bro! It would be way too annoying probably it it stayed bkinking lmao
@@j0rss Happy to help my dude :)
Can it be changed to miles per hour instead of kilometres ?
It sure can!! Check out my other video on this speedometer. It goes over calibrating the different settings
Hey! Do you know if you could set this up for a 2 stroke single cilinder setup?
You sure can!
I believe for 2 stroke you have to set double the cylinders since they fire twice as the 4 stroke. If you have 2 cylinders set the gauge has you have 4. It should work.
Can you wire in the speedometer to the factory speed sensor system?
Depends on what your factory system is probably. More details?
@@MotoMango 2016 Honda Fury. I want to get rid of the factory cluster and put in a more basic looking circular one. I just want to be able to tie in the existing speed sensor to it if it all possible
@@TheBnb89 That should definitely be possible.
Had the same speedo for ages now, finally decided to install it today. Ended up rewiring the entire electrical system of my old YBR 125 lol. Curious if I'll be able to actually finish it :P
That's awesome mate! Let me know how it goes xD
If your bike dont have gear indicator, but you have oil sensor and reserve indicator, you can connect the oil sensor to the fuel conector blue/white and the oil sensor to the conector for the 6th gear and you will have both running. Greetings!
Ahhh great insight! Thanks mate! 💯
Are you sure? cause the gear indicators work on the negative
Hey would it be possible to use the fuel light for the oil pressure light ?
Yeah, just wire it to your oil pressure sensor!
Exactly what I was thinking!
Can the oil pressure wire be connected to the “position”/low beam wire
If you did that the oil light would always be on
@@MotoMango how about connecting the oil pressure wire to one of the gear indicator wires
The oil light will turn on whenever you engage whatever gear wire you splice it into.
@@MotoMango thanks for your help with this. I don’t have gear indicator wiring on my 82 motorcycle, so in theory if the gear indicator wire is only connected to the oil pressure wire will it only show a gear if the oil pressure light comes on?
No problem and correct. 👍
Hey man, where can you get an actual diagram on the factory 9pin? I’ve got an 81 cb900c and I’ve tried for like 4 hours to find one. Anything would help my man. Thanks!
Hey! I ended buying my service manual from eBay. I'd try finding one there and if not maybe there's a PDF you can buy online. Worth calling a Honda dealership and asking if they can get any as well
Moto Mango thanks a lot! Figure it out and it’s now working! Also, did you have any issues with signal lights functioning and wiring them up? That’s my last thing with electrical and they are giving me the worst time
I’m pretty new at this. So I have a 1981 CM400c and it has a second sensor for the rpm instead of wires. How do I plug that in?
What originally plugged into the sensor? Might need splice the speedometer wire for rpm in to whatever your stock rpm sensor wire was.
Moto Mango hey thanks for your reply!!! So it looks like the exact same sensor for the speedometer that you showed. I unhooked the wire from the tach and it didn’t have wires, it had a metal rod coming within the black hose. Man I can’t explain myself. I’m probably making it harder to understand for you.
@@thatboylos5452 What did the black hose from your tachometer sensor plug into originally? You're gonna have to splice that into the new speedo rpm wire
@@thatboylos5452 and of course man!
Did you connect the 3 pin? Somehow my motorycle doesnt match the speed in my speedo.
You have to adjust the settings in your speedo according to your wheel size. I have another video on that which should help!
@@MotoMango where?
@@lices th-cam.com/video/b6Hp8_vvD94/w-d-xo.html
we have the same speedometer, why is mine displaying 188, not zero. everything is on maximun even the fuel
As in the speedo is always reading 188? What do you mean?
Can i use for 3 cylinders? Why that actually matter?
It will throw off your tachometer (RPM) reading if it's on the incorrect setting.
I have a 95 road king and can’t get the tach to work. What would I do in the settings it goes from c 1 to 12. It’s on 2. And nothing on black and yellow wire. I’ve been playing with the wires and found the blinkers and N and the high beam and lights. Any help would be great 👍. Thank you 🙏
I would hook up the speedo/tach to a battery and just test each wire to see what it does (e.g. hook up the power wire/ground wire and then touch each wire to the positive terminal and see what the speedo does). The color scheme seems to change from speedo to speedo 😑Hope this helps!
Moto Mango I tested them all twice. I think it might be defective cause that tach isn’t bouncing at all. And the fuel gauge wire is acting funky and not doing it’s job. The tach moves when it goes thru it’s start up. And after that no matter what I do. It doesn’t move at all. Are any other wires grounded out besides the 2 green wires ? Could be me. Operator error on my part who knows.
I wouldn't rule out the speedo being defective. I had to get a new one because it was defective. They are cheap so it's definitely a possibility.
Hi Mate great video, helped a lot any idea how to make the tachometer work on a 3 cylinder and 3 coils on a k75s?
Thanks man
Appreciate it! :) I don't unfortunately, you'd have to somehow program the settings for a 3 cylinder.
great video, it helped me realize some diagrams were misleading. little late to this but i have practically the same same one, same style, functions, and colors; just made by dkmotork. I've been trying all day to get the neutral light on and i've had no luck, couldn't even get it on when i was testing the wires. Any advice?
So when you send power directly to the speedo wires and neutral isn't showing up that might mean bad wire or light in the speedo. They are cheapish So I had to replace the first one I got cause the speedo sensor was bad
If you're positive you have it grounded and sending power to the correct wire with no neutral light then it's definitely bad
@@MotoMango sorry i never saw this but that was the truth, ended up getting a new one and it all lights up :)
only issue now is figuring why it only reads 2000rpms when running, it'll shake a little bit it never goes far above or below.
Hi dude, great video, I have one that I'm fitting but the Speedo isn't right I assume you have to dial it in to the circumference of the tyre to get an accurate speed any advice would be great cheers
th-cam.com/video/b6Hp8_vvD94/w-d-xo.html
I explain it in the video I linked :)
Might be really dumb but I can’t figure out it the sensor wire is for rpms or speedometer?? I have a 1980 cx500
the sensor wires are the speedometer :)
It should be the only 3 pin connector so that sensor connector should connect right to the speedo 3 pin connector
Did you ever figure out the fuel gauge thing, my bike has two wires for the speed sensor
That bike didn't have a fuel gauge so that's why I didn't wire it in.
Will the fuel gauge work on bikes with a reader?
what do you mean by reader?
can i just use it for the speed not the other stuff im trying to put it on a 4 wheeler. so it would just to give it power and the sensor
Yeah, you can just hook up the respective wires to just run it for that.
@@MotoMango okay thank you
What is the use of the magnets and how to fix it with the speed cable?
magnets is what the sensor uses to calculate speed.
Hi. Is there a method to calibrate the speedo.
Thanks
th-cam.com/video/b6Hp8_vvD94/w-d-xo.html
I go over it in that video I linked. Good luck!
Great video, I have installed the same speedo to my honda CGL 125 project but the motor revolutions are not working, I'm trying to figure it out... could you help me sharing if you have had the same issue? I haven't done the calibration yet, that may be the problem?
th-cam.com/video/b6Hp8_vvD94/w-d-xo.html
That video I go over more of the calibration stuff. Let me know if that helps!
@@MotoMango thanks, I will let you know :)
@@MotoMango nope, still rev meter is still not working, I have connected the same cables that were connected to the rev meter on the original speedometer, any recommendation??
@@ismaelsalazar6695 if your original tachometer was working, maybe this new speedometer is faulty?
@@ismaelsalazar6695 assuming you definitely have it hooked up right
Sir is it work this speedmeter in scooter?
sure does!
How do you know when you need gas? Do you just guess since your gas indicator isn't plugged in?
I use my odometer. I know the size of my gas tank and roughly my mpg so I fill up every 200 miles
The speedometer on mine doesnt work, indicator stays at 0... anyone an idea? İve tried both sides of magnet. A red led flashes but indicator stays 0
Your sensor might be bad. I had to return the first one I got because of that. Return it for a new one.
How did you mount the speed sensor?
I fabricated a bracket to fit my old stock speedo mounting holes.
Thank you so much, mine wiring diagram was wrong as well and youre video helped me out a bunch!!!!
Happy to help!
How did you connect the (black) switch wire to a 12v connection.
If you don't want to wire it to your battery, you need to look up the wiring diagram for your bike. That way you can find which wire is the power switch wire for your original speedometer and wire it into that.
@@MotoMango It didn't have a power wire, every option was powered on itself. But I do want to wire it directly to my battery only how do I get it to turn on and off synchronized with me turning the key on and off. If i just connect the switch wire to the pos pole it will never turn off right?
@@watchus020 Yeah, if you just wire it straight to your battery it will always be on and draining your battery. You need to wire it in with your ignition switch. Do you have your service manual? Only way to do this is by knowing your own bikes wiring.
How can i diagnose which cables are positive and negative?
The only negative wires will be your ground wires. Just test them on a battery
hi my wheel size is 80/100/17 so what do i put this in the speedo as .
Look up for the rolling circumference of your tyre. As example 80/100-17 Metzeler is 1788 mm.
Use the formula for circumference of a circle to calculate your wheel circumference. 2(pi)r will give you the circumference. pi being 3.14 and r being radius of your wheel.
Thanks alot that helps load's.
Hellow I just got it iinstalled on my sportster. Set the correct circunference as indicated. But the speed is about 20kph below... tried reducing the circunference and seems to no avail. Other functions are easy to configure. My stock tach move just like it.
Only advice I really have other than making sure your magnets are evenly spaced is to keep tinkering til you get the right reading. I used my phone for a GPS speedometer reading to match my speedo while tinkering with it.
@@MotoMango I realized that circunference was wrong, is 3.3mts for the 19 inches wheel, and the speedo only reach 2.999mts haha.
@@CzarWilkins haha oof! Glad you figured it out though
I got a new 150 scooter trying to find one that will mount flush in the dash but very limited on the depth. This one is cool but won't work for my application & so many the choose. LOL open to suggestions Salute luv the setup 💯🙌
Thanks man! Check out Dime City Cycles, there is a lot of options there.
Mine flat wont turn on. What it wired proper on my honda rebel 250 and nada. Turn the key on and black. No reaction
It could be a faulty speedometer. I've had one come in the mail broken before. Did you test it on a battery first?
@@MotoMango thats what ive deduced. I can only get the nuetral, position light and turn signals to power on. The digital display will not power on
Yeah, I bet it's just defective. They are cheap and china made so it's bound to happen 🤷♂️
Right! I've got one on the way. I'll have to work into tying into my coil packs and getting that signal in the meantime.
Issue turned out to be the ground I chose. Grounded to the motor with a jumper and presto! It works!! Silly me....😔
Hey I was installing mine and I don’t know much about the wiring I got everyone to work but was wondering what the constant power (red wire) is. Do I NEED to connect that or is that only if I want something specific. Thanks got the help and great vid!
I couldn't get mine to run without connecting the red wire. Is your's working normally without it? That would be super weird
Moto Mango yeah I have an 86 nighthawk 450 I connected everything except red wire, fuel gauge wire, and all the gear wires and everything turned on and works which is what i don’t understand either. I’m just finishing up the bracket. What did you connect yours to? Thanks for the reply
@@javiervalerio785 I connected the red wire to stock speedo power wire. So basically wherever you connected the new speedo power wire to, splice the red wire to that as well.
Moto Mango thanks man appreciate the help!!
@@javiervalerio785 no problem!
I believe the set up has a configuration for the different fuel resistance sending units. set it to the configuration where ground = full and it will stop blinking when you ground the wire.
You can do that through the serting of the speedometer?

Hey moto
I have a problem with mine rpm wire I checked is there was a signal through a voltmeter and there was , but when I connect the wires (black an yellow and black and yellow) nothing seems to happen
Did your original tachometer work?
Yes it worked perfectly , I also used a multimeter en the voltage of the original tachometer wire was okay
It is possible that the speedo/tach is bad. I had to replace the first one I got in the mail because it came DOA.
We replaced the old meter on the bike and that one worked fine so I guess something was wrong with the digital meter
Thanks for your response !!
No problem! Good luck mate!
Where did you put magnets
I glued them to the brake rotor. Just be careful about placement
Thanks for the video. I figured out the wiring. However, the settings I have not figured out. 1. How to set mileage on Odometer? 2. What are the values in each of the three bits? Thanks
I don't think you can change the odometer mileage, you can only reset it to zero. Can you elaborate what you mean on your 2nd question? I also have another video that goes over how to set it up once you've wired it. That might helps as well. Cheers!
@@MotoMango Thank you for the reply. I found that the odometer I have is slightly different in how settings work. When going to settings ccc: 123 for changing cyls, etc. Use ccc: 456 for changing odometer. Thanks for your great video.
@@ocmtb cheers mate!
i imsm the problem the tachometer hand does not react immediately but has a delay of half a second
Mine kind of does that too. They are $30 speedos from China 🤷♂️
@@MotoMango and it works for you?
What are the measurements for the custom bracket
I can measure them tomorrow when I'm in the shop and get back to you! Idk off the top of my head.
How did you get it to switch from kmh to mpg?
When power is on...Just hold the back side button for 3 seconds to switch it
@@conanpol1 mine doesn't it goes to a 3 digit Id. Found out I have to enter 888 and it takes me into a programming mode. I can select the wheel size and the amount of magnets than change to mph. From what I've seen on other videos it looks like they have 2 models out the same gauge.
How to set odometer back to old value?
hold the back button when on the odometer setting.
Hey man I’m back again, I’ve wired everything but I seem to be having a problem or I’m just confused on what the black and striped brown wires are, they’re positive wires on my bike, but I didn’t need them to get the bikes speedo working, the problem is it doesn’t turn on and if I do get the bike on it turns off?? It’s making no sense to me, I believe you have a nighthawk too and maybe you could help me understand what those black and brown wires are on your bike and what you did with them when you plugged up the new speedo
Striped brown is power wire for the cb750 and I believe black wire is ground.
Sorry, I meant that I have 4 wires that are all the same color black and brown, they are connected to the fuse box but those black and brown wires are not doing anything to power the speedo even though they were connected to the old speedo
Yeah, I remember there being a cluster of those, I only ended up using one of them cause like 6 were spliced together
They were for the back light on the stock speedo, tach, and powered a few other things
You’re awesome now if I could ask one more question, where did you plug that one cable?
if I was to do this with a 2001 vulcan 800 would it work??
Yup! Just make sure you have your repair manual so you have access to the wiring diagram for your bike. You could probably find a PDF online as well.
@@MotoMango dude thank you I really appreciate the response
@@joshuadaniel5490 No problem. Cheers!
Hey man just saw you vídeo over de speedometer i have one and I am having difficulties on building in to mine Yamaha virago 700 from 1985 maybe you have any advies ?
