norcal616 846 Posted October 11, 2017 Dirty speed sensor...it's located behind the front sprocket cover above the front sprocket...I pulled mine and wiped the sensor face off and the extra grease/oil outta the sensor hole... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norcal616 846 Posted October 18, 2017 ..its not that hard to locate it... its right behind the 2 upper bolts holding the sprocket covet in place... see yellow circle in picture... the bike in picture is an FJ-09, but location is darn near identical... and for the eagle eyed peeps, yes the green tube with red ish fluid is for an "auto oiler" which I know nothing about... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motomeek 708 Posted October 18, 2017 Had the same issue before, dirty sensor. It's doing it again, so need I to go back and clean it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c3tkeyo 16 Posted October 30, 2017 Haven’t gotten to it yet, been traveling a ton for work. Next rainy weekend it’s on the list, which should be soon since I live in Portland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c3tkeyo 16 Posted November 23, 2017 Should have asked this before but how exactly do I clean it properly? Didn’t want to unscrew it since I wasn’t sure what would potentially come pouring out. Front sprocket and chain guide guide are clean now at least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t want to unscrew it since I wasn’t sure what would potentially come pouring out. Front sprocket and chain guide guide are clean now at least nothing will "pour out"...maybe a few dribbles of oil... I take a clean clean rag and wipe out the sensor housing hole, then use another clean clean part of the rag to wipe the sensor face off... I then put a thin gloss coat of the clear grease across the sensor face... I should have taken a few more pics last year but I haven't done it yet on my FJ-09, so I just may wander over to the garage and do it 🙈 for some pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shinyribs 689 Posted November 23, 2017 Is that a speed sensor ( for the speedo) or a gear position sensor? I'm not understand how a speed sensor would have any bearing on the gear position indicator. I mean, the gear position will change regardless if you are rolling or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the gear position sensor... the speed signal wire is located under the starter area...gotta find my posting on that... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c3tkeyo 16 Posted April 8, 2018 Looks like 4th gear is still twitchy.... guess I’ll do it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaotic680 0 Posted April 27, 2018 I'm having the exact same problem! 2015 FZ-07 with 10k miles on it, 4th gear either disappears from the dash or it flashes on/off - and it happens only when in 4th. I just had the bike serviced over the weekend and they said there's no diagnostics they can run at this point, other than throwing parts at it, but they said that'd be dumb. They also mentioned something about this bike having issues with MPG dropping after a while, but that's off-topic (though the real reason I came to search the boards today, still interesting to see someone else having the same issue with 4th gear) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
