Un Speedometer Speedometer is an instrument that provides instant speed readings. Traditional speedometers use gears and wires to determine speed, recent two-wheelers use magnetic speed sensors. The most common failures are: a faulty sensor, bad wiring or dial malfunctions. The problems with the counters often stem from a faulty gauge or a worn cable. If the Speedometer is not damaged, a simple procedure will solve the problem.
â†' Check the power supply at the Speedometer.
â†' Check it out fuse of the counter.
â†' Check if the cable is not disconnected, damaged or broken.
â†' Check thecounter trainer potentiometer style.
