KTM Speedometer - where is my sensor?

[Dingledoo]

I'm having some trouble with the digital speedometer on my 2008 EXC 125. It will turn on when I press the on button, but doesn't stay on and doesn't turn on automatically when the bike is running. I had a look at the wires coming out of the digital unit - it seems there are 9 wires in total and only a few are attached to something. From looking at the wiring diagram in the manual it seems that the speed sensor is connected to the unit by 2 wires - on my bike these don't seem to be connected to anything.

Can anyone tell me where the speed sensor is? and where I should be able to find the wires exiting from it?

Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers

On my 05 it screws into the caliper bracket.

Yep on my 07 it is same place.

Thanks for your help. Having just looked at my bike, it seems I have no sensor at all. Found these piccies on the internet, which one of the two should I have?

Oooops, realise I have uploaded two of the same photo - won't let me download anymore. The other picture shows the sensor a little lower.

In case this is a trick question ... I will go with D- all of the above.

It looks just like mine- except mine is way dirtier!

EDIT: mine goes as soon as the bike moves one wheel revolution. check that the tiny magnet in the disc rotor is actually there- it may have got knocked out.

Thanks Stuart. I have just been looking at my parts manual, and at the bike - I have the little magnet in the rotor but no sensor or cable at all - looks like it's going to cost me 100 bucks to get a new one! Never going to buy a second hand bike again! Thought it had done 70 hours when I got it as that's what the computer said - but realise it could have done 700 for all I know!

Where's your speed sensor? If it's an Aprilia, probably allegedly in a courier bag somewhere. I hope it takes less than 9 months for you to find it.
