Title: Zero ds problems
Post by: Benjamin on November 14, 2011, 10:22:46 AM

Does anyone else have problems with the speedometer? I have replaced mine three times and it still doesn't work.

Mine went flaky on Friday.  Falling to zero and back to the actual speed but I think it's the cable as it seems to come and go in time with the bumps.  I've emailed Phil the distributor in Melbourne and he's emailed the states to see what to do.

Mine did that for a while than it just stayed at 120 no matter the speed. Zero sent me a replacement gage and it worked fine for two months. But crapped out again. Zero sent me a replacement gage and two cables. Still not working. Its just super annoying. Right now I am dissatisfied with them.

Yeah, some of the stuff is a work of art.  The frame is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.  The wheel speed sensor mount makes me cry it's so lovely.

The headlight on the other hand is already rusting and the gauges are cheap volume items.

Move the sensor a bit closer (but not so close it hits)

Hi, I noticed on my 2011 that the sensor is not at the front wheel anymore. It is close to the belt drive and motor now it seems. Maybe the improved this issue with that.

It's not sensor related as jiggling the cable as I ride along will toggle the state from working to not working and back again.  It is the cable or the connector at least on mine.
