Removed stock speedo, bike wont start
 

Hi,

I removed stock speedometer from xt660z, also complete front lights and indicators.

Bike wont start in this state, any help?

I am installing rally fairing from otr.

FIXED
just blown fuse during the cut, fuu :)

Does the xtz Speedo not contain the immobiliser circuitry that receives the code from the chip in the key?

I dont know, hard to read it from service manual. I does start without it, during the cut fuse was blown, wasnt starting because of that. It ignores clutch / stand switches (what is essentially good thing).

Now I am in process of finding out how to read fuel, rpms and error codes manually. Any help?

No, runs fine without the clocks.

Wow this is interesting. I thought that black box speedo thingy contained something like a chip for the keys and the sensors fuelling etc.
so that big black box is only a digital display. So there must be a chip somewhere right?
The speedo looks terribly fragile because I keep knocking it with the hand guards and costs a small fortune which often worries me. But now I ve learnt it's not necessary is a relief.
Are you planning on installing an analogue speedo etc

yes good info...
I always thought it was need..interlinked to the ignition/injection etc...
now to get a trail tec unit for the XTR. ====> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trail-Tech-V...2c7371&vxp=mtr

The Z runs without a dash. Not so sure it's the case with the R and X though??

The Z's dash doesn't have any diagnostic function, whereas the R/X does, which may or may not do funny things with the ECU if not connected?

Don't know, but I reckon is you should unplug your dash and see if it works without it before you splash out on a Vapor! ;)

will do.... I tossed the XT at about 70/80k on a gravel road while on the DB1k..
broken all the mounting lugs of the speedo unit... still works..
came around a blind corner... there was shut gate... had to head off in to the paddock but high sided on the little ridge between road & padock...

Sorry man but that's a little funny

The X & R will also run with the dash unplugged.

Thanks Kev....
Trail Tech it is then...

Trailtech doesnt show fuel now warnings, neutral and other leds
To my current understanding those wires going to stock speedo are kind of digital bus decoded by it, right?
Or are different led lights signal transimmited by separate wires?
I got imo 100r50 and considering trail tech as well not sure about model strike or voyager
