Trip Comp/speedo

[ginger_ninja54]

I've just abandoned the BETA ship, and jumped aboard the GasGas vessel!

Have just bought a 1995 250 Contact - Yes, its 10 years old, an oldie.... but a goodie!

have noticed on quite a few, the little computer doesnt work. have replaced the battery on mine, as it too didnt work, and its all on, but the wires on the back arent connected.

i know its pretty useless, but its there, so it'd be nice for it to work. any ideas where the wires go?

its very similar to the computers you get for bicyles, which, i seem to remember have a little magnet on the spokes to register the speed, there isnt anything on this one.

if no joy, at least the clock works on it!

cheers for any help, am sure will be posting more q's!!!

The little magnet isnt attached to the spokes on this model its screwed into the hub on the disc side of the rear wheel inside of the brake disc an its got around 8mm hex head and the reciver bolts onto the brake caliper bracket.

Your lucky the clock still works my hole unit gave up working atfter around 2 years.
