If anyone cares, I ended up getting that same speedo sensor as seen in posts 168 and 169 and used it in conjunction with a speedoDRD on the 5 rotor bolts in my gsxr wheel and it works wonderfully. In case anyone was wondering. In my opinion it's the best method, over the magnet method.

 

We ALL care Vilago !!!

How did you mount it just for the record ?

 

It was posted that a GSXR sensor will pick up on the rotor bolts and the plug matches the SV plug. Anyone know which year(s) the plug matches for sure?

I like that it will A) pick up the rotor bolts and B) plug in for a clean install.

Needed the speed healer for current tire size and future gear changes anyway.

 

would a 3/8" magnet make a difference? i found them local and was going to epoxy them to an m5 bolt and run it through. i already bought them and fitted them and it looks perfect. just not sure if the bigger size will make a different reading. can anyone answer that?

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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 ?

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

Can anyone tell me if this is the hall sensor I need? It appears someone spliced what I am hoping is the one for the front I need. 07 GSXR 750 front

 

bump

 

Is there a p/n for that? Spend the 4min and do some quicky wiring and see if it reads properly. Looks like it should do the trick.

 

i realized that this thread is pretty old but I'm going thru the conversion right now.
I have the bracket pretty much setup exactly as shown on some of the pix and wired up.
The only issue I'm facing is trying to mount the magnets/cups.
I'm using SV1000 front wheel so the rivet holes are larger than my small magnet and cups and the large one too big (maybe by 1mm).

I'm wondering if I should just glue the cup directly on the rotor surface evenly spaced out or if there would be an adverse effects in doing so. I'd rather glue than drill to be honest but wanted to check to get some input before gluing away.

​

 

I used gorilla glue and it filled up the space between the cup and rivet

 

If your going to glue them then you don't even need the cups. Mine are just stuck on with magnetic power and I have only lost one in 2 years, glue would be good insurance though.

 

Hey Guys I have gone through this thread multiple time and a few others and cant seem to figure why my speedo is reading out double the speed. GPS says 30mph and my speedo say 60mph.

The bike is a 06 SV650 with a 04 GSXR front end swap. The wiring is just as its been stated here with the Cherrie sensor and 8 magnets.

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

The logical thing to do would be to remove four of the magnets and try again.

 

Play with the distance between the sensor and magnets. IIRC it's around 1\8" or so for a good starting point.

 

I will double check but Im sure its at that distance.

Did that and it still read high. GPS 30mph speedo 45mph.

 

I had a similar problem. I have an '03 SV650 with an '02 GSXR front end. I bought it with the speedo/odo reading double with the stock rotors w/ 4 magnets.

I changed out the rotors to a 6 button design. I taped a single magnet between a spoke and it registered what appeared to be a 1/4 of the speed when moving. I taped another magnet on an opposing spoke and it registers correctly now. I'm assuming 4 magnets would double the speed again but realistically it's working well now.

Anybody know of why this may be?

 

So I have tried a lot of different set ups and still not reading the right speed. I even went down to one magnet and it still reads high.

This is the sensor I got.

Anyone have any other ideas what the issue might be?

What about if you take all the magnets off?

The cherry sensor has a magnet built into it and was originally designed to trigger off of metal of gear teeth, not magnets in rotors. I am guessing it is probably triggering off of the metal of the carrier (if it is steel) or the webs of the braking surface that meet the rotor.

I don't use any magnets at all.

 

After reading boat load of material on this site i wasn't sure what i'm going to do for my speedo...so i got 1/4" magnets from local hardware store (these guys have it all) and for a sensor i used 01 Bandit 1200 sensor, i'm almost 100% positive that part numbers are the same as 04-05 gsxr600/750 and more....

 

Custom aluminum bracket....

 

Sensor mounted...

 

I have 3-4mm space between sensor and magnet, magnetic field between them still pretty strong

 

Not bad for a carpenter...LOL ccasion14:

 

That's a really nice bracket. What's it made from, mahogany ? ?

Seriously though, very nice.

Ready to go!

 

The sensor was probably removed. The connector for it is a three pin white colored block which should be near the right side of the headstock under the tank.
