I've had a recent problem where I've lost the speedometer and tachometer, now I've got several sets of clocks and 2 k100's and a k75 that the clocks have been tested on. The Tachometer works on all and so does the speedometer so I know that's not the problem.
However on my daily k100 1984, I've lost the speedometer and tachometer as in the needles don't move at all. I've tested the power connection to the speedometer pulse wire that connects into the final drive and there doesn't seem to be any power at all. At the moment I'm pretty stumped on what to check next. All earths that I know of (under the tank, back of the fuel rail, to the left of the bike from the battery) are all clean. The pesky starter motor is clean and the bushes were replaced two months ago.
My only idea at the moment is the cable that goes straight into the clocks itself which is part of the main harness. Does anyone happen to know which wire it is for the speedometer and tacho.
Or any other suggestions on where to look next; if it was mechanical it would be easy to sort with it being electric I'm stumped.
EDIT>>>>
I've also lost the right hand indicator front and rear everything else works, locally can't get DEOXIT so I've had to order it online. I've been using normal electrical cleaner for now.
