Title: 400cc Jap import speedo Post by SteveBless on 04/22/13 at 09:57:18 Hi, Does anyone know what the speed warning light on the speedo is for?. I have not yet rode my bike so I haven't got a clue what its for. |

Title: Re: 400cc Jap import speedo Post by verslagen1 on 04/22/13 at 10:10:38 We don't have one on the 650. Maybe the owners manual for the 400 will explain it. |

Title: Re: 400cc Jap import speedo Post by paulmarshall on 04/22/13 at 11:54:50 Its there to tell you that you are speeding. ;) Back in the day when our top speed limit was 80 km h, There were vehicles mainly cars that would give off a horrible sound when speeding.Pull the bulb out if it bothers you. Speed limit now is 100kph, I would prefer it to be 110 or 120 especially open roads. |

Title: Re: 400cc Jap import speedo Post by jcstokes on 04/22/13 at 23:16:49 Paul, I will disagree somewhat on your interpretation of the bleeper. The New Zealand speed limit was lowered from 100 kph to 80 kph following the oil crisis in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur war of 1972?. At the time there weren't any Jap imports to speak of in our country and virtually no speed warning bleepers existed in vehicles. The bleepers first appeared when second hand Jap imports were allowed after 1984. The first Savage 400's to come here probably had them as stock. It would be interesting to know where SteveBless is from. |

I live in the UK. The bike has been imported, and I have yet to register it. I bought a MPH speedo from ebay, it was located in the US, so I know I will have to disconnect the bulb. I just wondered what it was. My Fiat 500 I used to have had a warning beep which you could set, so I had a bit of an idea. I need to get the thing on the road with the original KMH speedo and see when it comes on. Not sure when its going on the road though. I am enjoying working on it. |

He said it may take him a couple of weeks and he will start to ask questions and do a bit of research. I may be able to get a manual but it will be in Japanese. My daughter took Japanese at school so we could get it interpreted. Or my mate in Japan (he is English by the way) could get it done depending on what we need to interpret. Just a thought! :) |

Yes mate you are right about the Jap imports and the speed warning bleepers, I didn't explain myself very well earlier. I was trying to explain that we had cars that once use to tell use that we were speeding. Sorry I should have mentioned they were from Japan.I did not know our speed limit use to be 100kmh prier to 1972.I was alive but not driving at the age of 5. :D However SteveBless that is a warning speed light and just pull that sucker out. |

Title: Re: 400cc Jap import speedo Post by wambr on 04/23/13 at 22:15:18 on our forum, in Russia, someone wrote that this lamp illuminates when the transmission 5 and at speeds of more than 100 or 120 km/h. but, unfortunately, neither in the wiring diagrams or on microfiche for LS400 I anything intelligible not found... there is light, there is a wire to it, but where this wire is connected-it is not clear... maybe to ignitor... |
