Danmoto 180 installation question

[stonemaster]

wanna say thanks especially to JCee there should be a tutorial on this, great mod, I have to say, I LOVE this bike but the insturment cluster was a shitty piece of work, it look so much better now

[stonemaster]

well here's one, speedo not working, I get the reading at 0 on the screen but when I take off I get not reading just sits at 0, I have mine mounted exactly as JCee does, check plug and appears to be good, I'm stumped any ideas

[J-Cee]

Did it ever work? The magnet has to be pretty close to the pickup sensor.

[stonemaster]

I moved it closer but still no go, if I put it any closer it will hit, I may try a different magnet first, but i need to test the pickup i guess, it may be bad, I think I might have figured something

[J-Cee]

If you just wave a magnet over the sensor repeatedly it should register.

[stonemaster]

yea but I'm thinking some sort of continuity test, I'll ask the danmoto people about that one, but it seems as if it should register from pickup to a lead in the plug

[Dirty Duc]

I'm pretty sure it is just a hall effect sensor, AFAIK they all work the same way. Test procedures for any should therefore also be the same.

[stonemaster]

actually from my google search there are 2 diff types, will check into further when I get off work

turns out the problem was    ........     magnet strength, the pos danmoto one had apparently wussed out , I ran one of my retriever magnets (you know the ones on a flexable rod for getting dropped screw out of various places) and works great, with a new magnet I'll be god to go, thanx all

[J-Cee]

If you still want me to send you one I can but I'm in Hawaii the rest of the week so it wouldn't be until Monday.

[stonemaster]

thanx anyway I yank the one out of my retriever and epoxyied it on about 2 hours ago, it was the only one out of 3 that registered, the original, and another magnetic retriever didnt register at all, so for all of you who see this in the future get a better magnet 

[stonemaster]

test ride over, all is well, looks like your speedo setting is pretty damn close JCee, thanx again

[J-Cee]

No problem. Enjoy!!

a thought did occur to me, magnet strength prolly also affects circumference setting

[J-Cee]

Update: Had a bad gauge and after a long trip back to China it was replaced. I decided to "pimp my gauge" after I got the new one. Pics to follow. Also the latest circumference setting is 1750. That's dead on with OE tire size. The PO had one larger on front and back.
