Which wire?

#1 Post by RZVTokyo » Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:47 am

I've just installed a digital speedo on my RZV. The speedo has two power wires. One goes directly to the battery. The other wire is supposed to be connected to "accessory". I've tried connecting the "accessory" wire on the speedo to the solid blue wire on the main switch.

There is not enough voltage coming out of that blue wire (something like three volts) to power the speedo's backlight.

Are there any other wires which I could get power from when the bike is switched on?

Hi RZVTokyo I have a Koso dash. One wire goes to the battery and the other goes to the brown wire from the ignition

I've finally got the electronic speedo to work properly.

Thanks Ron.
