Title: Problems on the Ride In
Post by Munson_kl279 on 08/24/05 at 09:18:53

I just recently installed a Sigma 1600, I'm still working out some issues with the tire size. I've got it within 15 mph but this morning it went wacky on me!

I'm driving along then go to get on the highway and when I start to get up to speed the d@mn thing starts to jump back and forth. It would jump up 20 mph or down 30 mph, it was just all over the place then when I would actually get up to speed, about 60-65 mph, it would stop working all together. By the time I got to my office I was actually going about 35 mph but it was reading 115 mph! :o

After I parked I looked at my wheel and found that one of the magnets I have on the rim slipped off the stack. Of course it was the top one that I forgot to glue in place. I hope that fixes the problem. I guess I'll see on my way home tonight.

Kropatchek also has a Sigma on his bike, though I don't know if it's the 1600 model.

I have the Sigma Sport Targa. There's no model number.
The magnet is on the brakedisk and the sender is glued to the brakecaliper bracket.

Check out this topic for pictures.

I've been thinking about a Sigma for my KLX, it's speedo is way out because of the 17" front.
My question is, what lengh of wire is there between the sensor and clock ? This is important to me because of the long forks on KLX (36" from axle to handlebar clamp).

Don't worry about the lenght of the cable. You can extend it with a piece of similar wire. Solder the joints and put some heatsrink over the joints.
