ashesman Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 LEM V5 has no speed input or any functions that require speed. Newer ECU's use speed for idle control, launch control, gear ratio calculation and some other stuff I cant think of...

Chris Wells Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok i have just come accross the exact same problem to discover the G1 V5 has no speedo output. This is the gauge i had intended on using Ok so what options do i have? Can the software be upgraded? How would you nowmally run a speedo of a link G1 V5? mechanically of the box? Can i get an adaptor for the mechanical gbox drive to send to the speedo? or use a bike speedo? the gauge i have can be calobrated on the back of it.

Jurgen Biggelaar Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Chris. Under any normal circumstances, the speedo out was always accompanied by a mechanical device (gearbox to dash and not run by the ECU at all). I do believe there are such devices out there though. I couldn't recommend any specific ones to use, only confirm they exist (mechanical in/digital out). The V5 just can't do speedo stuff. Going for a later model Link platform is the only way around this, G2 or later. Jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
