Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / March 200698 gsxr -- speedo stuck at 80mph
I replaced the voltage regulator on my gsxr and a few connectors becuase they had melted. now that it's all back together; I turn the key on (not even start the bike) and the speedo jumps to 80 and the odometer ticks over as if it were doing 80. I start the bike up and put it in gear -- the speedo doesn't change. Another clue is that my digi guage only picks up 2nd gear (any other gear, still shows 2nd). I looked for a wire I may have broken or pulled -- but can't find anything. Any ideas on where to look, or what might be the issue?

Never taken a gsxr apart but I doubt it is much different... My R6 had a connector going to the instrument cluster that had a whole bunch of wires that gave it all the data it needed. The connector was hidden somewhere below the cluster, in the bracket that it mounts to. First thing I would suggest would be to look for something like that on your bike, and if it's the same, make sure it is properly seated and that there is no corrosion on any of the terminals. If that doesn't solve anything...start following wires =) >My R6 had a connector going to the instrument cluster that had a whole >bunch of wires that gave it all the data it needed. The connector was >hidden somewhere below the cluster, in the bracket that it mounts to. It's a very embarassing probem.... I traced EVERY wire; had most of the bike apart, started testing wires left and right (up and down). I got to the end of one wiring harness... my speedo healer.... switch #1 had moved to the ON position... That's the "test" mode -- where it SHOULD go to 80.. D'OH! I put some gorilla tape over the switches to prevent them from moving again. At least I know my entire harness is good & I have clean connections now! --- AntiSpam/harvest --- Remove X's to send email to me. Sounds like a wire bundle melted together or you swapped a couple of connectors.
