    Hello, first thanks for the video. I have the same problem with my 2013 Duke. I'm thinking about buying the LED bulb but I have a question. In my country it is mandatory to drive with the lights on, as soon as you turn on the ignition the light comes on. I tried turning off the motorcycle on a descent and turning on the ignition (which also turns on the light), but the speedometer continues to show zero from time to time. If the motorcycle is without the engine running, shouldn't the speedometer work properly, since I think the stator isn't working?

    The light will come on when the ECU detect rotation from the front wheel. Maybe try disconnecting the connector to the bulb then go for a test ride. Not at night lol. Check the comments for other peoples faults on the same issue.

    Really interesting and worthwhile. Also a very sensible conclusion :) Years ago (in the 70/80s, pre ABS) I used to test myself on wet roads trying emergency stops. Using Continental tyres at the time which were really forgiving it was possible to have the front wheel turning at slightly less than road speed as I braked at maximum. It was good practise. I still regularly practise with my R1250GS. I'm a firm believer that regular practise makes the result during an unexpected emergency far more predictable and safer.

    Great video thanks. I was in two minds about replacing my "race on" switch due to the cost. Mine's a 2019 bike, last month I was touring France from the UK so about 1000 miles from home, I went to power on the bike and there was nothing at all. I pulled all the fuses to check but all were OK, I replaced them and got power on. I was anxious the entire remainder of the trip. I was unsure about the true cause of the failure but suspect corrosion or dirt in the switch. Looks like for peace of mind I'll have to replace it. KTM dealers are aware of this so KTM will be also. At the very least they should supply the new switches at cost. 🤷‍♂️

  • @willTryAgainTmrw

    Hi, so if I got it right, the issue is bad stator. Correct? The problem goes in this order: speedo + headlight works after cranking up the vehicle -> bad stator -> doesnt charge battery properly while the headlight consumes power from battery -> battery voltage drops -> speedo stops working once the voltage drops below 9V -> Headlight also stops -> battery gains voltage -> cycle repeats My question is: My duke 390 also has same issue. It's 2013 model. Mine doesnt have always on headlight. Then why does mine have the same issue? Also, isnt replacing headlight with LED light not a permanent solution? Why is the speedo going off after a certain speed, while coming back on instantly after going below 60kmph? Shouldnt it stay off no matter the speed?

  • @mostlymotorcycles.
    @mostlymotorcycles.Ай бұрын

    Sounds like a different issue to mine. Your right It's not a permanent fix if the stator is failing, but fitting a low wattage bulb may make it hang in there a little longer. Check a previous comment from a dude who traced his issue down to a faulty contact in his ignition switch. This was causing an intermittent low voltage to the speedo cluster.

    Check a Web sites called KEDO Yamaha parts. They specialise in XT500s. I believe that its a franchise and operates form a few country's around the world. I reckon it was about 8 month. Getting the forks rechromed was expensive and took about 2 month. There are some replacement stantions Available for the later modles so hunt around. They are a great classic bike now. I always get lots of attention at the bike shows with it.

    Hello. check the resistance from fuse 1 to pin 11 on the dashboard. I had 14 ohms. I disassembled the ignition lock and cleaned the contacts. the resistance has become less than 1 ohm. after that, there were no problems with the speed readings even once.

    There is a easy solution to your ktm 1290 switch its self on and off. Make sure the main key (the one with the battery in it) is far enough away from the bike so it cant be picked up by the race on button. Then using the key that doesn't have a battery, hold the key on the inside of the left hand panel, its marked where to hold the key and push the race on button.and it should be ok. It qorked for me when l had this problem

    Cool idea, but I see some caveats. You have investigated if your new light won't overheat inside. The aluminium part that it sits in, is a heat sink for the main lights. Now it is significantly heating up the heat sink. You might overheat the whole light assembly. I imagine it costs a small fortune. Not to mention, it could get you stranded in the dark, far away from home.
