Thank you for not posting a picture of your speedoThanks in advance for your assistance, pity and/or insults.
It was an "S", you Philistine.If you were back on that R it wouldn't matter. You would always be 5 under.
Whoops. Wrong Bike. Still, nice to see you on an RS.It was an "S", you Philistine.
It didn't.Another way to determine this would be to pull an extended wheelie and see if the speedo goes to zero....
On my 2016 R1200RT it is the front wheel sensor that drives the speedo. I know this because I damaged the front sensor while changing the tire . A new front sensor had to be installed before the speedometer worked again.Does anyone know which sensor, front or rear, is used to indicate speed on this bike?
EDIT: Which sensor drives the speedometer?
Thanks in advance for your assistance, pity and/or insults.
Hmmm …. The ABS system reads both front and rear sensors to get a comparison, and given BMW’s proclivity for linking things (like turn signal flashers and ABS systems on R11 bikes) I wouldn’t count on that being definitive nor consistent throughout the model range. Post# 6 attests to the rear sensor being used to feed the speedo. An easy test would be running the bike on the center stand and in gear to see if the speed displays.On my 2016 R1200RT it is the front wheel sensor that drives the speedo.

That's what I did after r0ckrat suggested it.An easy test would be running the bike on the center stand and in gear to see if the speed displays.
