LCD display on DASH2 dead?

Was doing some configurations on the bike yesterday which involved a bunch of starts and stops (setting up suspension and whatnot), when suddenly the display wouldn't light up when I started the bike. It was working flawlessly a second earlier but then nothing. It's been working flawlessly for me ev...

There might not be enough of a change in the magnetic field between the bolts and the rotor. Take a piece of steel and rapidly wave the sensor over it and see what happens. Or wave the sensor over the rotor - but it needs to move more than a few inches away from the rotor. The bolt that I use is a ...

To register, it needs to see a ferrous object pass in front of it, not held there. Spin the wheel as you hold it there. Also ensure that the speed setting in the dash is taking input from the wheel speed, not the DL1 (GPS). Yeah, that's what I've been doing to try and find out the "ideal"...

Yeah, but I fit them so I would remember. Menu on the left, up / down in the middle and select on the right. Anyway. Back to the wheel speed sensor issue. I have it wired correctly and without the 1k resistor (as suggested above) but it doesn't seem to register a signal. I've tried holding the senso...

Well, managed to get it all working so now I'm really happy. Settled for some cheap £2 buttons. They'll do the trick for now. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/DSC_0001-57.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w149/Mindless000/DSC_0005-50.jpg As for the +12V and ground I asked ab...

Quick question regarding the switches though. The manual clearly states that one wire from each switch should go to the "switch common" wire and the other to the relevant switch wire (select, menu, up or down) - but do I need to attach the +12V and ground to the Connector2 wiring harness a...

You need to mount the hall effect sender so that it will see a bolt head or six as the wheel turns. I drilled through the brake cooling backing plate to mount the sender and put a small bolt through the backside of the wheel bearing flange. Some people pick up the brake rotor bolts. Others use prop...

Well, I managed to get the MPH to show up on the dash now but it isn't registering anything when spinning the wheel. How should I mount the sensor to get the best readings? Do I need magnets (did note that the sensor itself is magnetic) on a bolt or two on the brake disc to get a reading? Also, I'm ...

Rob Stevens wrote:That wheel speed sensor is the one use, connect black wire to ground, white wire to the signal input of the dash, connect the red to the 5v out of the dash or 12v it will work with both, no need for a pull up resistor.


Thanks Rob. I'll test it as soon as I get back from work! :)

Wheel speed sensor wiring for DASH2?

I recently purchased a DASH2 instrument from www.demontweeks.co.uk and managed to get it installed on my motorcycle yesterday. Everything is working fine and I'm really happy with it - but for one small detail. I can't for the world of me figure out how to wire the wheel speed sensor. I ordered two ...
