The plug from the sensor to the wiring harness needs to be cleaned. Cleaning off the MAGNETIC sensor is a waste of time. Cleaning the connections on the back of the speedo head would be the next thing to try. IF the turn signals cancel after 15 blinks, then the sensor is working, sending VSS signals to the turn signal controller. Is the odometer registering mileage? Could be the air core gauge itself. Sorry to put it this way, but this is a simple circuit....not rocket science.

I had a speed sensor on another brand of motorcycle that just needed cleaning. Try pulling the sensor, clean and replace.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I already took it out and cleaned it and put it back in. It was very clean, just clean gear oil in it...

Start by checking and cleaning all connections in the circuit

I finally got my 2001 Drifter 1500 up and running after many years of sitting in my garage, I know, stupid for not ridding it....

Now my speedo will not work. Everything else works but that. The speed sensor part 21176-0037 is around $100 and I want to make sure that its the speed sensor and not something else. What else could be the problem? Any fuse for the speedo? I know that I can test the sensor, but don't have that tool.

Thanks.....
