cables broken and its electronic so not to cheep to fix, it will cost me £50 for a brand new one, so al probly buy one from my yamaha dealer when i get some more cash.

iv asked loads of breakers, and had the wrong cables sent out twice... so £4 for one of them should do for now

hi,
used cycle computers on various bikes, though found the wireless ones a bit unreliable.
last time tried one, it was showing me doing 55mph when at a standstill! lol
never had a problem with the wired ones though, more accurate than most of the stock speedos.
get a backlit one if you can.
cheers,
GAZ

measure how far away the spokes are form the forks first though , cycle computers often need quite a small gap of about 1cm i on some bikes it makes it a total pain to fit one
