K1200 speed sensor

(1/2) > >>

Squadron Leader:
When I put my K1200 LT into reverse gear, it goes for about a metre then stops. I have to press the button again and it moves another metre and so on.

After a trawl on the web, I find out it is the speed sensor that needs changing. Has anyone here changed theirs? If so, where is it located on the bike and how easy is it change?

Thanks,

Phil

Does it? I'm sure that's how all my LTs behaved. Reverse uses the starter motor as I recall - so driven by the battery. Could that be why it only goes a bit at a time? To stop buggering the battery?

Squadron Leader:
Interesting. This is my first LT so I don't know any different. I was posing the question as I thought it was normal to just move back a metre or so, but not, according to other LT owners. Yes it is driven off the starter motor and the revs rise whilst reversing to put more charge to the starter motor.
So. Back to my original question. Where is the speed sensor located?

See my reply above, on the Final Drive or possibly caliper.
