Product Overview
DAYTONA SPEED SENSOR, PROXIMITY TYPE, NON-CONTACT, 87038
The DAYTONA proximity speed sensor is a universal, non-contact type speed sensor (3-wire type) designed for use on a wide range of 12v motorcycles. This sensor facilitates quick and efficient installation in a discreet manner. The process involves mounting the sensor, wiring it, and setting the sensor gap. A basic bracket and ties are included for immediate installation, though a custom bracket can be fabricated to secure the sensor as preferred. The sensor can detect brake rotor bolts or rear sprocket bolts without requiring a magnet.
This type of sensor is typically employed when a direct-fit speed pulse converter is not available for the specific model, or in scenarios where a custom build omits the factory Speedo drive unit (such as a Speedo drive at the wheel). Once wired, the sensor is self-powered and detects a ferrous (metal) target, with brake rotor bolts or rear sprocket bolts being ideal targets.
The wire length is 2000 mm, providing sufficient length for front or rear installation in most cases. The speed sensor is compatible with all VELONA and DAYTONA gauges. It is confirmed for use on SR400/500, SR400FI, early Triumph air cooled models such as the Bonneville/Thruxton, Honda CB range, and many other models.
The motorcycle must utilize a 12v power source (battery), as electrical speed sensors are generally incompatible with battery-less systems (capacitor-type ignitions).
TIP:
Additionally, this speed sensor can be utilized to operate a secondary electrical gauge or replace a factory inbuilt speed sensor when fitting a mechanical speedometer or an electric speedometer, for example, when using a VELONA or Daytona electric Speedo with an SR400FI (2010~2018). This replacement would address the inbuilt speed sensor the SR400FI came with (it hides within the mechanical factory Speedo & is used for an ECU feed).
NOTE:
These sensors are a three-wire type and are not compatible with the two-wire feeds used on other makes and brands of gauges.
