this morning on my ride to work. It was working fine, I stopped at a light, made a left hand turn and it quit working. At the next light I turned the bike off and restarted it and the speedo worked fine for the rest of my ride. Any insights? | ||

Hmmm - lots of traffic on the connectors in wire bundle that routes under steering head. They pull loose - but I thought mostly on right hand turns. Ground wire behind headlight solid ? | ||

It has become an epidemic!  Could that be because a lot of bikes are coming out of hibernation, it is cold enough, the wires stiff enough, and they have not moved in a while? Pull the harness open, red wire triple splice. There are many threads floating on this subject right now. | ||

IIRC, some of the early XBs had a speedometer sensor that was often faulty. Believe it was replaced with an upgraded part. Not sure if any of the Ulys had these. It's not hard to remove and replace. --Doc | ||

No issues coming home tonight so I'm hoping it was a one off glitch. I redid the steering head grounds late in the fall so they should be fine. It's an XT so hopefully the reduced steering angle along with the newer wire guide will be less prone to breaking the harness. It's what makes it an adventure bike 'eh? |
