Digital Speedometer Problems F3
So I have a 1991 CBR 600 with a CBR F3 engine and most electrical parts. My issue comes when I'm attempting to put a digital speedometer that has a analog or cable driven speedo connection onto my F3 engine that has the 3 wired speed sensor. I'm lost on what I can do.
Here is the cheapo speedo I got. LCD Digital Speedometer Odometer Tachometer for Motorcycle ATV Scooter Dirt Bike | eBay You can see if you scroll through the pics where the speedo cable would connect to on the back. |
So it looking like this is my situation. It looks like if I cannot work from electrical speedo to mechanical. Then what I have to do is work backward and go back to mechanical only. As in speed cable on an F2. So here is another question, I have a F3 fork, wheel, and rotors. Can I put an F2 front wheel speed sensor like this??

I don't see why the electronic one wouldn't work. If it comes with documentation, you should be able to find a source of ignition for the engine rpm. As for speed, it sounds like it uses a magnet and Hall effect IC to detect the rotation of the wheel. This would most likely be a magnet that gets attached to the wheel somewhere and a sensor mounted to the fork or swingarm somewhere so it detects the magnet as it goes by.
As for F2 and F3 fork parts, they're not interchangeable. |
Thanks for the replies! I'm just going to put a trail tech vapor on there and be done.
