i just noticed this morning my speedometer is not working, the needle is stuck at 0, however my tack is working fine. I read a post where it says that a simple clena of seedometer sensor could fix it. I have too lok it up in the manual, but if anyone knows could you save me some time and tlle me wher it is and what do i have to remove to get it and should batterry be disconnected while doing this, thanks |

No need to disconnect the battery, but the sensor is probably blown. The updated part solves the root problem. Try cleaning anyway though, you might get lucky. |

The 03 XB models has a bit of a problem with voltage variations nuking the sensor. The updated part solves the issue for you. Sometimes the pickup does collect small fragments of ferrous metal which cause it to not work. In that case cleaning it will help. The pickup is located on top of the transmission case just inboard of the output sprocket/pulley. |

I tried the cleaning just in case but did not do anything for it. I replaced the Speedometer Sensor and it works perfect. thanks for the advise guys. took no more then 5 min to replace. Im so glad Buell makes his bike to easy to maintain. |
