|
|
I am writing for more info on getting my speedometer working on my pulse. It has a VDO speedometer guage and sending unit on the front tire. I checked the guage and it is working fine. I tried oiling the cable until oil ran out of the other end. I cleaned the sending unit and re- greased it and it is not working. I think the problem is the sending unit. How do you get another one , What model or where to order one. Would like to get it running again. Thanks, kooman |

I wish I could help you on this one, but I've been thru 4 different Pulse front ends and they all seem to use a similar but slightly different sending device on the front axle. It's definitely a motorcycle unit, but I'm not sure of the model or year. I actually took mine to a bike salvage yard and wandered thru hundreds or bikes and bike parts but couldn't find a match. I'm just leaving my gauge in the dash and installing a GPS unit to give me speed. I believe others like Bob Cervaro had installed an electronic sending unit with digital read out. _________________ "Everyday you wake up with a Pulse,

If you have the money, and the ability to do some fabrication work on the dash area, you could install this
all in one electronic dash and really update your pulse:
The model you would probably want to use would be the
250-DS-UDXSR <<<click
It is compact but displays all the info you need. These are the dimensions the website gives:
4.00" tall, 10.20" wide, 2.125" thick. Total clearance required behind mounting surface: 2.0" _________________ ---Bob---

For a bit less, or a lot less, you could replace the VDO with an electronic speedo from AutoMeter <<<click
Or there are also units out there for bicycles that use a magnetic pick-up and eventhough they are for bikes, they go up to about 120mph. One brand that comes to mind is Sigma. _________________ ---Bob---
