Even wired speedos can sometimes be affected by the ignition system. There is a lot of discussion here regarding speedometers and interference. Use the Google Custom Search, type in 'speedometer' and you'll have plenty to rear.

As for instructions that have been translated into English, you never know what you'll see/read. The booklet that comes with the Bell speedo shows the magnet/sensor mounted on the left front fork but the instructions say to mount it on the right side :)

Just be sure the magnet is close to the pickup...that's the 6cm measurement, (should be 6MM) It does not matter where you mount it as long as it is close to the pickup as the wheel spins.

And look for the little arrow on the sensor. The magnet on the spokes should line up exactly with that arrow. Otherwise your speedometer won't work well.

actually is 1.5mm max spacing between magnet and sensor :s tight fit.

I have a wired speedo and it didnt work until I changed the plug wire to a carbon core wire. Later after I installed the Jag cdi it quit working again (Wacky readings) even after I put a carbon wire on the jag coil so I ordered an old skool cable drive speedo.

It's a typo. What they're trying to say is the transmitter can't be more than 60cm from the computer.

Since that's a wireless speedo, you'll probably be getting RF interference at some engine speeds.
