Speedo reeds 0 - 1999 Yamaha YZF-R6

Check speedo drive gears in extension , if cable driven check inner cable.

Bad speed sensor on the transmission. Click here for the fix.

On the Softail speedometer there is a reed switch that turns the turn signals off. If you don't have any power to the speedo, the reed switch won't work. Try to find out whether or not you have power to the speedo.

Good Luck

I have a trouble shooting chart for the self-cancelling turn signal module but it's much to much to type in here. Contact me directly at [email protected] and I'll e-mail you a scanned copy. I don't think the '98 model Fat Boys use fuses, they use circuit breakers. Seems there is a reed switch in the speedo that turns off the turn signals. Remind me of what you want as I get lots of request and I can't remember who wants what.

Good Luck

it sounds like your speed sensor is going out you should replace it before it gets any worse

hello , it sounds like you have a bad speed sensor or all 4 of them , see when the speedo plays dead like that is because (most cases ) the sensors at the wheels are bad due to water and normal driving corrosion , the data for the speedo comes from the abs module that monitors the sensors if the abs does not reed it the speedo will not reed it aswell , it will be good to scan the vehicle to see if you need more than 1 sensor there is one in each tire axel ,good luck

There are 2 speed sensors on the transaxle. One is for vehicle speed and one is for trans output shaft speed. My guess is that you replaced the one for output shaft speed.

Replace the vehicle speed sensor, I am sure this is the cause of the problem, about $40.00 for the part
