BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Little update. The bike has gone back to the independent who removed the ABS servo. To cut a long story short, they are baffled. The diagnostics is coming back with all kinds of errors which they believe could indicate either: 1. Moisture ingress to connectors 2. CANBUS / ECU failure. Really crossin...

Many thanks all. Bike is heading back to the outfit that de-servo'd the bike for me.

The assumption here from your initial post is after the modification the speedometer and odometer still worked, but failed sometime after.

Correct

Ah, right. It seems I've misunderstood and not quite understood. What I've done is to just replace the rear sensor. I haven't swapped out with the front. Guess I'll be busy on monday then!

Hmmm. So I replaced the rear speed sensor this afternoon. Speedo still dead. Does this mean that the front sensor is the problem?

Thanks David, I'll have a look when I get home. Would speed sensor failure also cause Odometer failure? My mileage isn't going up.

Blimey, I seem to be racking up problems faster than I can fix them! My speedo has suddenly failed on me. It was working fine on friday night, then Saturday morning, nothing. Needle wont budge and the mileage isn't going up. I had the bike de-servo'd recently. Could that have anything to do with it?...

Thanks Pete for your detailed response. Sounds like a fairly simple, if fiddly, job.

Thanks Nick. Better spend some of my Christmas money then!

Evening everyone and as I'm new to the forum, hello! I've recently acquired a 2005 R1200RT with 40,000 miles and I absolutely love it. I've ridden allsorts over the years, from an SV650 to a ZZR1400, this tops them all in terms of fun factor. Anyway, I'm having a very strange issue with my indicator...
