Title: 2015 Super 8 150R Speedometer Stopped
Post by: kennygoh016 on May 07, 2023, 12:14:04 AM
Hey, I was trying to find some video to trouble shoot my speedometer. It stopped working. The digital screen still turns on but the mileage and speed numbers don't change.
I looked at a few YouTube videos but they are not the same model. Mine is 2015 super 8 150R.

If you know videos on YouTube or have a manual don't mind sharing please let me know. Thanks.

Most likely the gear or sensor on the front wheel has sh** the bed. Happened to me too and am waiting for the parts to come in.

Oh yeah. I realized that after watching a bunch of videos on youtube.
Saw some generic part on Amazon and ebay. For example the one below

Where did you order yours?

I'm lucky enough to have a dealer close by...literally 3 blocks from my work, super convenient, so I order Kymco parts through them. I'd be very interested if you do get that generic one how well it works. The Kymco parts are way more pricey!

The one showed on Amazon didn't work. Too big.

What I found out was a plastic piece in the sensor is broken. I called a local store and was told it's about $60 and it could take weeks or months to get it.

I used superglue to put the broken piece together and it's working now. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction!
