Wire Wheel / Cast Wheel Swap

[17-CB-002]

Well, ran into a problem. While everything bolts up fine physically, the speedometer (rear speed sensor) is not working. There was a change in the configuration of the speed sensors between the 2014/2017 model years, from 2-bolts to 1, and more compact for 2017, but nowhere near interchangeable.

Also wire colors were reversed, but even when corrected, no response. Air gap fine at 0.7mm, has about 560 ohms, battery voltage coming through, but no response.
rear speed sensor, and there were delays in availability, so I just got a used one off eBay. Didn't work. Air gap was fine, had resistance across it similar to what was on the original 2017 sensor. Got a new sensor, no difference

So working on it now, and will update with conclusion.

Just my 5 cents worth.
Since the ABS speed sensor signal is an AC wave type, the wires polarity are not important.
Place the bike on center stand and rotate the wheel while monitoring if there is an AC signal at the ABS computer connector (when back probing the "RR VSP+ (Pin #2 wire P/W)" and "RR VSP- (Pin 18 wire G/R)" - Note: Voltmeter must be set in AC mode and NOT DC mode.

Note: the AC wave signal from the rear wheel pulser ring is digitally converted inside the ABS ECU (from analog to digital) and sent to the speedo head (RPO pin #7 wire P/G).

One can also read the Diag Trouble Code.

Note: The ECU can only detect an open or short circuit but not whether the incoming signal is good or not. There is a good chance that there is Normal (no fault) DTC.

You mentioned "Battery voltage coming through"; There should be no battery signal (voltage) at all at the wheel speed sensor??

Good Luck
