I know my 92 Zuk had a front wheel cable jobbie for the Speedo and I know my 2005 Buell does not.

In terms of what's more commonly used today, my guess would be electronic. In terms of how many bikes on the street still have the front wheel drive units, I'm sure the number would have to outweigh the newer stuff by far. JC

That we can definitely agree on. I wonder if it's because they already have ecu to control fuel and the like? It'd likely be a simple step to throw a speed algorithm in the programming, and voila, the computer tells your speed. |

Personally, I dislike digital dash components. They're too difficult to read in static light conditions, and they have a lot a crap like gear position indicators, I just don't need or want. Then again, I never look at my speedo unless I see a cop. ![]() JC

My SV650 had one of those front-wheel speed sensors, and it was a piece of shit. It was a ghey little plastic bearing that needed to be replaced twice.

I dont even think the computer knows. Your speed is measured by the rotation of the transmission output shaft. The same way an ABS computer reads A/C sine waves from wheel speed sensors.
