Lowest Mileage Falco?

#1 Post by HisNibbs » Sat Mar 02, 2013 8:46 pm

Finally got 20 Miles on the clock. Been a long time coming, what with another speedo sensor failure, cold weather and getting the BMW back on the road.
(add 65000 ish)

Yes, my speedo has gone crazy. Where do you buy a sensor? (Is that the thing near the back wheel?)

Yes that's the thing. The workshop manual will tell you how to test the sensor (I know as I've had a couple fail) :smt009

They aren't cheap .... I've bought via ebay but Aprilia dealers flog them.

Griff did tell me the motor is good for 100 thousand miles. So maybe if it does go bang fit a mille engine? :smt003
Tolerance will be our undoing.
