The speedo on my CityX won't answer the bell sometimes. It will just sit there while the tach needle will swing through its arc when I turn the bike on. After a while, it will start working but show an incorrect speed. Most times it works fine, though. Got any ideas? Bob | ||

Either take it to the dealer under warrenty, or pull the speedo sensor and clean the magnet off. It might have some shavings from the break in stuck to it. | ||

Interesting, I have the "other" problem on my CityX. Maybe 1 out of 10 starts, the tach needle won't do the swing thing when the bike boots up. Once it warms up and I blip the throttle, it pops to the right place. I think of it as the bikes "lucky fin". Unless it gets worse in the next two years, then it will be a warranty claim, lucky or not  My first street bike (a Yamaha Radian) did the exact same thing, so its actually a nice bit of character. It's not the classic speedo sensor failure, the "xb-S" bikes were the only ones that were safe from day one, they use a filtered regulated voltage source for the sensor. Could have metal on it, but I doubt it. My guess is that it will clear itself up over time. Keep gas off your airbox Ned. 9 out of 10 times it's harmless, but I had one batch of gas from a generic station that marred it. Nothing novus could not clean up, but it could be a lot of work if it's a bad spill. |
