Digital Speedometer

[nickgrill]

has anyone put in a digital speedometer?

I'm sure they have. As far as finding one for a pre that fits in the pod, I haven't found one yet. Most replace the entire pod assembly.

[nickgrill]

i have a 2005 750. are you saying I would need to replace the whole instrument cluster?

[shpielers]

Yep

[92xjunker]

Yes. The post pod is electronic already.

[nickgrill]

Yes. The post pod is electronic already.

what do you mean by "post pod"?

[MotorBikeMike]

Post Katana meaning 98+ years are post Kats and pre Kats are older ie. 91-97 I believe.

[92xjunker]

Almost. 88-97

[nickgrill]

Yes. The post pod is electronic already.

if I have a post katana already. you said they are electronic. not sure what you mean by that?

[92xjunker]

The pod (gauges are all electronic) pre bikes use a cable for the speedo. Post has a speed sensor at the drive sprocket.

[nickgrill]

so if it is already electronic shouldn't it just be a simple replacement?

[92xjunker]

Nope...unless the digital can use the same sensor and is calibrated to do so. Most do not use that type Suzuki sensor. They have a magnetic sensor that mounts on the forks.

[nickgrill]

ok....so how can i find out if they use the same sensor? and if they don't can it be calibrated to work?

That's a question for the manufacturer of the digital speedo. How are we supposed to know?

..... I can't find one big enough for the pre pod. I may have to carbon fiber a new pod, just for digital gauges....
