125-200cc Sm s 125 a few questions

Right lads/ladies

I will have a few pounds spare in a few days when I sell off one of my bike projects

My husky has been neglected due to funds and has been stored away in my garage as it has no mot or tax 8-(

I have a few bits to sort like the speedo, as the display only shows up part of the digits, what I wondered is, if I push down on the LCD or wiggle the plug I can get more of the display to show

Has anyone taken apart a speedo to check/repair any solder joints? As it would save me purchasing a new one


Secondly my pv works as and when it pleases, it doesn't do the self clean when I turn the ignition on, is there a way to check with a multimeter too see if the bike is sending voltage to the solenoid? Or a way to test the pv by running power to certain cables on the solenoid/motor?

Any help would be great! I can't wait to get it back on the road as the sound is pure beauty and it feels amazing to ride 8-)

Firstly I would check the fuses box, when my 10 amp fuse had blown my pv never came on or off with the ignition on startup, soon as I changed the fuse, it did it everytime and still does[ though its quite gunked up atm]. The sms is probably different but I have three fuses underneath my seat. Unfortunately I don't know about the speedo but I would reccomend putting on a cheap universal one if you're considering mot'ing or selling it on, might work out cheaper/ more reliable than the electronic one

Non plans to sell but I do need an mot

It will pass an mot as is as the screen does come on and display some characters 8-)

I have 3 fuses too the left of my seat 2x15 1x3amp as per the manual but sadly these didn't help

When it was all connected up the pv would work sometimes and then stop, if I have the too wire a tug it would generally work for a bit , I assumed this was due to being gunked up and stuck but having removed the pv motor I can freely pull the blades open and shut with no resistance 8-)

I'm thinking due to the clocks being faulty maybe they aren't sending the rpm signal to the pv solenoid to open up
