[Riffer]

Hi Riffer, did you get it working correctly ?

Hey man, yeah it works like a charm now. I changed the mounting point to behind the front fender like a lot of other people. Made a bracket that uses the fender mounting bolts and everything. NOW HERES THE KICKER!!!!!

It was still reading way over the actual speed when I rode. So one day when I was riding I watched the odometer to see if the miles would click over fast since it said I was going 105MPH when I was obviously only going like 55-60. It seemed to be moving at a regualr 60 mph click time. I'd go about a mile it seemed, and it would click over 1 on the odometer. Then I looked beside the speed read out and notice it said KM/H!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never changed it to MPH!!!! The whole time through both brackets and everything I never noticed it was set to Kilometers :facepalm::sbmfacepalm::facepalm::sbmfacepalm:

Hope you don't mind me pseudo-reviving a dead thread but even after 19 pages, I don't think the issue of the newer Gixxer 600 fork rotor issue holder size was ever addressed. My question is that I have a K8 Gixxer 600 front end and I'm not sure what size (or how many magnets) I need, along with the holders for my rotors. I was under the impression I needed 8 magnets, not 4 as I have newer model calipers (not sure if me having a 2nd Gen '06 650 changes anything). So, in that regard, does anyone know definitively if I need the 1/2 inch holders for the rivets and 3/8 inch magnets? Or 3/8 inch cups for 1/4 inch magnets for my particular rotor? Also, do I need 4 or 8 magnets, without having to use a Speedohealer. This seemed to be unclear as well. Please help! :worship: Thanks again everyone.

you need 8 magnets. as far as the holders, no idea. I still think using the 12o'clock labs speedohealer and cherry sensor is the best way to go, but i guess price always wins.

There's always the option of not using holders. Since the 4 magnet math didn't work with my rotors, I just epoxied the magnets to the side of the carrier. That was about 10,000km ago.

4 magnets attached to the disk carrier w/ superglue worked great on my 1st gen. thanks for whoever first came up w/ this

This is how I wired the sensor but nothing happens when I spin the front wheel. I don’t have the speed healer in but I figured that I would get something from the speedo but nothing. Its stays at zero.

brown = VCC goes to orange/red
blue = Ground goes to black/white
black = output goes to pink

Here are some more question though.

1. How close does the magnate have to be to the sensor?
2. Which direction should the magnate be facing when in front of the sensor. I mounted in the rotor with the magnate being attracted to the sensor. Is that right?
3. What am I missing?

Hey, that's my bike !!! ;D

1. Make the gap 5mm
2. Magnets should be facing the sensor in the direction where they are attracted to it.
3. Nothing that I can see. You wiring is correct. i would suspect you have the magnets the wrong way around.[/QUOTE]
where did you get that sensor bracket ?

I made it.

is not from aluminum?

Somebody sent me a visitor PM about a photo of my bracket. I accidentally deleted who it was so here you go, whoever you are.

It triggers perfectly without magnets. Had a 8 pulse per revolution trigger with the stock rotors. Needed a speedohealer for the 9 pulse setup with aftermarket rotors.

how close is your sensor to the the rivet? and how accurate is ?
and is it jumpy ?

 

[ineedanap]

About 2mm

With the healer it is within 1mph of GPS. Without the healer it would be just as accurate as the stock suzuki 8 trigger sender.

Not jumpy. Triggers perfectly.

 

[doarmihai]

thanks man...it really works..i was about 1mm close to the rivet...an it was jumpy ...but at 2 mm its fain...i have to see how accurate is

Not jumpy. Triggers perfectly.

So the sensor is set up to trigger on the rotor rivets? How do you calibrate the healer if you have more than 8 rivets on the rotor (i.e. 12)? I noticed this works without magnets on mine as well, but it was jumpy and not accurate at all.

Technically, the buttons are stainless they probably have no effect on the sensor. It is probably triggering off of the metal surrounding the buttons. As long as the sensor is situated in the empty area between the rotor carrier and rotor braking surface it gets a strong signal as buttons pass.

With a speedo healer you can use any number of buttons. You would just calculate the percentage different from stock and enter it in the healer like you normally would. For example if you went to a 8 button rotor and your stock sensor used to trigger 4 times per revolution, you would just divide number you enter into the speedo healer by 2.

I have no idea why yours was jumpy or not accurate. Mine works perfectly with both the stock SV1K rotor and the Braking aftermarket rotor. I'm using the Cherry sensor that most people use.

after a first test with the gps, it seams that the error is 5 mph at 45mph
if it reads like the stock one...then the error will be bigger with the speed
when i order the sensor(cherry) i did order the magnets and cups too...so i will put them on, to check for precision

The error comes from suzuki programming in the speedo head or the ecu, not from the sender. If your rotor is 8 buttons, it should match your previous error with the OEM sensor exactly. If it doesn't, your sender isn't triggering properly.

hard to tell...only if a stock sv posts up his gps comparation....
i know it had error...just don't remeber how much

The stock speedo is about 8-10% generous depending on the brand and condition of the tires. Using a 120/70 17 tire will make the speedo closer to accurate.

last night i instaled the magnets. it is more acurrate with them. up to 50 mph the error is 3mph. at 70mph the error is 5mph. at 90mph is 7mph higher
