Does the bike have ABS ?

Just a wild guess here, but if the bike has ABS, one of the wheel speed sensors may provide the signal for speedometer indication .

Do you have a wiring diagram for the bike ?

Bob the bike does have ABS but its a seperate sensor mounted inside the brake disc, the speedometer sensor plugs into the final drive housing the diagrams with the Clyma and on Real oem dont show it ???

I found that on a google search but it doesnt give the part number
thanks anyway, i will ring motoworks on Monday someone must know as it looks like a common problem. the cable has been crushed as it was routed incorrectly over the swinging arm and i dont want to put an iffy joint in it.

Just another wild guess, does the speed sensor for the ABS, look the same as the sensor for the speedometer .

Maybe one of those parts that has multiple uses, but if you aren't 'trained on BMW bikes, it may not be a well known fact .
