Title: Gen 2 speedo on a Gen 1 1200
Post by: jlewis50 on February 22, 2006, 11:16:48 PM

I want to get away from the speedo shaft on my 2000 1200 and go to the electronic speedo from a 2nd gen 1200.
Anyone seen such a swap?
Where is the pickup for the speedo on the Gen 2  bike.
Any thoughts???

I haven't seen anyone do this swap, but it should be feasable. It'll take a little wiring work as well as the associated parts to make it work.

The 2G bikes get their speedo signal off the countershaft sprocket. There's a sensor on the countershaft end and a pickup in the countershaft sprocket cover.

If you look at the picture below, you can see the sensor and wiring just above the second knuckle and to the right of the crimp in the clutch hose end fitting.

I installed 2002 GSXR1000 clocks onto my 7/12 which had 1st GEn B12 loom.
Here's the info on the mod:
