Okay, so this is kinda long, but I am very stuck, and wanted to give as much detail as possible. I have been building a first gen bandit for a while now. Just finished rebuilding the motor, and while it was apart I had the transmission countershaft drilled and tapped to accommodate the 2nd gen bandit speedometer rotor/pickup. The whole idea was to eliminate the stupid magnet on the front wheel sensor that I had to use after I swapped out for the Busa forks, by hooking my Acewell 2803 up directly to the stock 2nd gen speedometer sensor that reads off the front sprocket.
Everything is back together now, and I have a 2nd gen sprocket cover with the sensor on, but I am having a hard time hooking up the Acewell to the sensor. Has anyone ever attempted this before? Is it even possible?
I found that the two wires coming from the Acewell uni-sensor are positive + and negative - and that when the magnet passes the sensor it cuts out the positive wire, causing a pulse to the speedometer that starts the whole process. For the stock sensor I haven't been able to test a working one, so I am kinda just guessing. There are three wires coming out of the sensor, one black/white which is ground, and two others (back/red, and black) which I am assuming are positive and negative. The schematic shows the two wires running up to the speedometer, with a 12v power being the only other wire going into the speedometer. I took a guess and connected the positive wire from the Acewell to the back/red wire from the sensor, connected the negative wire from the Acewell to the black wire from the sensor, and ran a seperate ground to the third wire. This didn't work. I tried a few more ideas with no luck and I am really stuck. I looked up the sensor and found that they are pretty much the same on busa's and certain years for the GSXR and Katana's. If you have any input that might help me figure this out, or could take some readings from your working stock sensor I would very much appreciate it. I really do not want to go back to that uni-sensor, haha.
