Hi, fellas:
I'm new here and almost new with a K75. Have been 8 months now of restoring and customizing and now I'm stuck with a problem.
I bought an Acewell MA085 (analogic RPM & digital speed) with a BEP 3.0 and all seems to be working fine: rpms, light, bargraph fuel...
BUT speed.
I have followed the cafe4racer schematic, so green wire into SPD connector. Then I put my wheel measurement (arround 1950) and the pulses (which are 6 or P-006). The K bike is in a stand so I started it and accelerated with the gear 1 to move the back wheel but the speedometer is not working at all. Sometimes, if I move the wheel with my hands I get strange readings (0 km/h -> 299km/h -> 34km/h...) but not always work that way. Most of the time it only shows '0km/h'.
I have seen that there is a switch to move from 0/5V to 0/12V, but there is no real change. (I don't really know what is this for)
One thing I can't understand is that all my Acewell MA085 black (ground) wires are attached to a washer so I screwed it to the chassis, but there is a black wire going into the GND BEP 3.0 in the schematic. I tried to put a wire in there and attached it to the chassis also with no changes so: is it necessary to put one of the black wires of the connector in the BEP 3.0? I though it wasn't a problem because everything is working fine but that.
Searching in google I found this in this forum: "When I hooked the speed+ from the Acewell to the SPD input on the BEP I got erratic readings at first. It would say "0mph" then would jump around when I revved it in neutral. I was concerned it wasn't going to work, but once I rode the bike around the block it stopped doing that almost immediately. Perhaps it needed to see a signal from the sensor to calibrate itself."
Do you think there is a chance the speedometer works by itself one I take a ride arround?
