ANYONE CAN RECOMEND A DIFFERENT TYPE SPEEDO FOR MY TTR250 NEW OR USED DONT LIKE THE PRICES OF A USED SPEEDO HEAD CABLE OR DIGITAL IF DIGI DO I NEED A MAGNET ONTHE DISC OR ANY INFORMATION NEEDED PLEASE
The bicycle speedo Martyn showed used to be the speedo of choice for our enduro bikes back in the day. My mate Olly used to sell them already set up for a 21" motorcycle front wheel under the name of Electraspeed which is no longer operating.
You could go for a Vector Trail Tech speedo, which was something like £80 if memory serves me correct.
Or a Halfords bicycle speedo for a fiver.
Both will need a magnet (supplied) on one of the spokes.
Both will show your speed although the Trail Tech does come with more features, and it looks better.
There is an alternative to the Vector but still not cheap!
The photo below is of an Acewell 3100 which had been in use on a TTR250 Raid that I broke for spares. It would fit any of the TTR250 models. The photo shows the bracket used to attach the sender magnet to the fork leg.
I have also run a Vector on an OE and it also worked perfectly well. I can't find a good photo of the unit itself but I recall it say well on the bars and looked fine.
The photos below show how the sender magnet was attached to the fork leg.
I will try and find the Electraspeed cycle speedo I used many years ago and post some photos.
