There are no electronic speedos within the air cooled Z range. Not even the KZ1000P. Sorry.

I thought the standard J speedo was electronic, with the sensor on the front wheel driven like a speedo cable, I thought the Unitrak 1100 had the same setup.

Z1000J has a cable operated speedo, and I think an electronic rev counter ,(not 100% about the Rev counter).

GPzb1 and J1 have electronic clocks. speedo has a sensor in the front wheel which sends pulses to to the clock which converts the pulses to a DC current for a moving coil in the clock.
There are many better options, speak to Padders and Ginget Bear

Rev counter on a J is electronic, mine has a Koso combined speedo, rev counter and idiot lights, so just one clock for me.

No idea why this does not work for you Dave I have asked three friends to try it and it worked for them.

Any tech guys have any suggestions ?
