This is the method I used for wiring a Samdo universal motorcycle replacement speedometer. You can find it on Amazon or Ebay. Search for Samdo speedometer. www.amazon.com/Samdo-Universa...
Nice video. I am here cause my bike had water damage in its lcd dash/speedo.. 2nd time now and unfortunately there is no more warranty. And Yamaha has a replacement but cost 400 bucks. While an after market one cost only 100, and has the same functions. The issue then is the wiring and the how to mount! Damnn I guess I have to do it 😄
The mirror component has to be placed on the magneto & IR sensor affixed above the magneto to read your rpms that's if your sensor is IR an that's also required to be needs to the main switch of the bike as well as both speed sensors if applicable
Additional info for setting the speedometer. Measure the circumference of the front tire. the number you come up with needs to be converted to meters. In my case it was exactly 2 meters. The formula is 1000/(wheel circumference in meters) *2 / ( 60 / number of magnets on the wheel) yielded 16. To enter your numbers. Hold the set key down then turn on the key. After the power up routine it will enter the speedo setup. Release the set button. The first digit will begin to blink. press and hold the set key again for 3 seconds. The second digit will begin to blink. press the set key to enter the first digit of your calculation. Press and hold the set button again for three seconds. The third digit will begin to blink. press the set button to enter the third digit of your calculation. In my case I ended up wit 016. UPDATE REGARDING the speed setting. The formula is 1000/ ((wheel circumference in meters) *2) / ( 60 / number of magnets on the wheel) I used 2 magnets so my formula comes out 16.66666 But I can enter either 16 or 17. 16 makes it read too fast and 17 makes it read too slow. The error being .6666 or .44444 . I redo the math if only using one magnet I get 8.3333 but I can only enter 008. but the error is less than with 2 magnets. SO measure the circumference of your wheel and do the math with one and 2 magnets and see which one gives you the least error.
Thank you for your explanation. It was very useful for me which I received the spedometer without any instructions. But what the next two digits means? The first one can be adjusted only between 1 and 5 (what means 1? And what means 5?) And the other can be adjusted only between 2 and 4 (what means 2? And what means 4?) Thank you. Cipi.
@@Cipi98CtaRo i was wondering the same thing. I'm sure the way he typed it out made sense in his head, but in mine, its like he's completely changing the subject and talking about random numbers out of nowhere lol. All the / * (1000 and all that other stuff just complicates the numbers unnecessarily. That, and you can't get a 6 number solution when all you have is 5 numbers to use. And the points, theres no points, its just a solid 5 digit number with a space between the first 3 and last 2. So I'm actually lost more now after reading the updated info than I was before I found it 😅
did you have any issues with the high beam. or neutral light hook up. i bought this unit and i bought another cheaper unit and i got the cheaper unit today. i machined the mounting bracket and went to wire it. the high beam indicator light worked but neutral light wouldnt work for me. so im hoping this wont be an issue with this unit when i get it tomorrow. you seem to be the only person to have a video on this unit. also i wanted to know if you can disable the fuel indicator. sense im using mine on a yamaha big bear 400 atv.
Another, mabye easier way to do it, is by looking in a Hayne's manual on the wiring diagram. There it says that the different colored wire does and match it up to the new odometer. Then you don't have to go through the different wires with a trial and error technique. This will only be possible if you got original wiring, if yuo got new wiring that doesn't use the same original colored wires, then this way is the only way to indicate the colors.
Of course that would be simpler IF YOU HAD A WIREING DIAGRAM FOR THE BIKE. However I would guess that most viewers of this video got here from a google search because they do not have a manual or a wiring diagram and are stuck trying to figure out where each wire goes.
@@gerrypineau There is almost a Haynes manual on every bike. Find the manual and get the diagram. The manufacturer usually also got a diagram of the bike.
I'm searching these videos to see if these gauges even work.. The price is EXTREMELY tempting versus me purchasing a used oem replacement. ~ $300.00 difference (used😭) I've seen these gauges around $30 bucks.
Hi thanks for the video much appreciated, with regards to wiring a speedo could have 10 to 16 wires with the aftermarket it’s a handful used what do u do with the leftovers as some would go back to the ecu ? I’m about to take on the task soon and would it not be possible to wire direct for the speedo instead of using the sensor and magnet cheers 🍻👍
The unused wires (only a couple) I rol up and stuffed away into a safe place. Not sure what you mean direct wire the speedo. The speedometer function in this device calculates speed from the circumference of the front wheel and the rotation speed. This rotations speed is sensed from the magnet and the sensor.
@@gerrypineau 👍 the original speedo is wired to the front sprocket why can’t u tap straight into the wires of that to get the mph or kmh showing on the aftermarket speedo or is it just a simple it doesn’t work like that some of my wires run back to the ecu hence the question. Super fast response 👍 much respect from Wales 🏴 Uk
@@beefyu.k.1600 well if that is the way your bike is wired then you can possible use the signal but first you need to check the signal and determine how many pulses per rotation if it s one or two the it is probably compatible with this device. Otherwise the speed reading will not be correct. Also bear in mind the level of the signal coming from the original sensor. The device is designed to receive a pulse from the hall effect circuit that cam with it. If the levels are not compatible you may damage your new device.
how do you find the rpm signal wire from the bike? and how do you find neutral? my bike is in neutral, thelight on the dash comes on no no matter what port i pulg the wire into.
Do* you remember how you calibrated the speed sensor? This one is different than the others for some reason. Hooked the same one up on my xr650l and it works great, all but the speed not being right lol.
Hey it looks like you’re working on a ZG1000 Concourse, i’m actually putting the same gauge cluster on the same bike do you have the ZG‘s pin out by chance?
@@gerrypineau hey where does the switch wire hook up to my bike witch is a sv650 has a ignition wire and a illumination wire witch one goes to the switch wire
Green white depends on if you have a water cooled engine or not. If you do then it goes to the top of the temperature sensor. Sometimes located on the engine and other times located on the radiator thermostat. The red brown wire goes to the oil pressure sensor terminal. Where ever that is located on your bike.
So far I have not much trouble. I do have an issue getting the temperature sensor and the oil lamp hooked up. The temperature sensor is connected to the motorcycle ECU when I add the connection to this device I can see that the changes the temperature reading which is not good. Probably best to add a seperate temperature sensor if you are using an ECU for fuel injection. If not then it is fine. There is the issue with the speedometer itself. When setting the calculations it will only accept 3 digits. That is fine if you calculations do not have a fraction. The formula is 1000/(wheel circumference in meters) *2 / ( 60 / number of magnets on the wheel) If it end in a whold number you are good but if you have a fraction in your answer it will read either too fast or too slow. For instance my calculation came out to 16.6 but I can either enter 16 or 17 which is not accurate enough for school zones. Best to err in too fast. I use a GPS based speedometer on my cell phone to calibrate.
Hey, i got some problems with the devices. After many test, everything was working fine ( i did not test the rpm or km/h yet ), this morning i was attemping to connect the rpm cable, it was not working. I turner off the bike and after that the numbers and icons don't appear anymore. When i turn the key, the blue light of the display turn on, every signal works fine (neutral, high beam ecc.) But i can't see anything else... Can you help me someway? Did you get any problem like this? Do you know the reset buttons combination? Waiting for you man... I'm in deep water.
your temp gauge was not on. did you ever figure out how to get it to come on? even without the sensor installed the temp gauge should be on an flishing i think. im asking because mine isnt on even with the sensor installed.
I cant honestly say. I did not use that function. Because I used a speeduino fuel injection ECU I sent the temperature sensor o the ecu AND THOSE READING WERE CORRECT. .
@@alistairtassie1614 Look in the video at time code 3:12 / 3:38 Freeze frame. That is all I had to work with and I had to download that from the internet.
Why in the world would I switch from analogue speedometer/tachometer to a digital??? I want to switch out the digital crap for a universal analog speedometer/tachometer.
