Speedometer Indicator

Post by Deke » Thu Oct 26, 2006 3:40 pm

HI, I'm back. I was able to get to my bike to c/o the serial #'s. It's about 40 mi. from my home - sorry for the delay. The frame is 107738 and the engine is CA77E 107762. What year is my bike?? Also since my last post, I've seen an 'advertised' as '63' CA77 with no indicator in the speedometer. How were the wiring harnesses made - did all include the wires for the indicator? Doesn't seem like they would be made harnesses individually for each specific bike. BTW, which idicatior is the neutral indicator - a post above indicates that it is the one on the top of the headlight housing - I'm hoping this is true because I do not have the indicator in the speedometer.

Your bike would have been made in 1964. The light in the headlight case is the neutral indicator, the light in the speedo face is the beam indicator. I don't know this for sure, but it is my belief that all the harnesses for the 'American' versions were the same. You only need a patch wire to power the light in speedo's with a beam indicator light. I believe the part number was 35453-262-305. I noticed that I said in a previous post I have seen 3 different faces for speedo's on these bikes. Well, I just remembered the Yazaki, so that would make 4.

Thanks for the response - much appreciated. When attempting to register the bike, what serial # is usually used for most states? The engine, or the frame? Common sense tells me it should be the frame.

in minnesota , the DMV wants BOTH the frame number and the engine number when you transfer title...but the title will only show the frame number
