Bought my g/f 99 Hugger for her first bike...nice ride but....Any ideas on how to test the actual speedometer? lights are on, needle 'bumps' when engine first starts but no measurement of speed or mileage. I found the sensor behind the starter and removed/cleaned it (what a PITA) but still no joy. Looking for advice for next best step.

 

check for codes yet?
cleared any codes yet ?

first be sure the connection is good - then make sure its not grounding out on anything
and if all else fails just change it ------

 

thanks...all connections looks sound. now looking for a replacement...seems to be a very hard part to find....

Problem solved: while testing connector from sensor to speedo, one wire just slipped out!...no way to repair the wire into appropriate pin so I jumpered around the connector and VIOLA!.....all is well!
