Title: K100 Aftermarket Speedo/Odometer/Tach/Clock, etc.
Post by: Snowy Mountains Mick on August 28, 2015, 09:24:12 AM

I have an RS with a stuffed speedo. I also have a parts bike. The company that reconditions speedos here said that the Motometre speedo parts were all but impossible to find and that I should send both speedos and they should be able to make a good one out of the pair of them.

I was thinking that I might be better off buying an aftermarket speedo which might solve the speedo problem and free up a bit of room for a GPS, etc.

Any recommendations?

Depends on what's wrong with them most of the time the gears turn into cheese and disintegrate apparently caused by the lubricant.Otto instruments 124 Evans Rd, Salisbury QLD 4107 (07) 3277 3888 will replace them,or you can buy your own gears, look on internet there are four different sets metric & imperial two types of speedo.You need to count number of teeth.Alternatively try ebay for a new cluster sometimes they come up occasionally at a reasonable price.

Speedhut is a possibility

Is your gauge stuffed or is it just the speedometer portion of the gauge that doesn't work?  If the former, you might be looking at sending the unit to a specialist.  If the latter, it could be corrosion on terminals inside the unit that needs cleaning.  This is a DIY job.  Search the forum for articles on how to clean the electrical contacts for the speedometer.  There is a 3-prong connector that needs attending.

There is a program for the PC available for free called Karamba.  This (http://www.k100-forum.com/t2038-karamba-speedometer-calibration-program-tutorial) is the user guide.

I ended up buying a fully rebuilt one off a friend, so all's good.
