I have managed to do most of my bike modifications myself, but today I had to admit defeat and realised that I'm not very good at mechanics! Having installed a 44 tooth rear sprocket to my 2012 version fireblade, I attempted to fit a speedohealer V4. This new version doesn't require wiring into the ignition, you 'simply' locate the speed sensor coupler, fit the speedohealer to the plug and this powers the unit. However for the life of me I cannot find the bloody speed sensor coupler. I raised the tank without a problem and tried to follow online instructions to locate which of the many plugs was connected to the speed sensor, but no joy. The official Haynes manual was no use at all and online guides show the coupler close up and seem to indicate a blue plug but I couldn't see the right one at all. In the end I put the bike back together in a big huff and might just take it to the dealer to do. I've been told it's on top of the gearbox, but this doesn't help a technical layman like me I'm afraid. Does anybody who has successfully done this have any guidance please? I just can't find the damn plug!!!!! It's like being 16 again and trying to find the mysterious clitoris! Cheers guys, Martin
Haha, funny post mate. Is it the gearbox indicator wire you are trying to locate? Not sure where the speedohealer is suppose to be connected to on the blade, did it to my R6 when i had that. If it is the gearbox gear indicator wire, you can see it just above your front sprocket. A round connector that goes up under the tank. edit. Just behind the shiftrod. See picture.
