    ive got the same problem mate, same bike too.. might just need a new speedocable, check the black wire going from your front wheel going up into the bike and see if its snapped

    Hey, Take the bike to the MOT and it will pass as they dont check it. check from front wheel that the cable is all connected no loose areas or any tears or snapped, if no sign of that then i suggest just need new cable will sort the problem, keep us updated!

    Yeah new gauges, digital speedo. Not sure but I think it has an electronic pick up rather than traditional drive and cable. So a couple of you think it will pass without it? Might give it a try at least I will get 7 days to sort it and get retested free. Got no brake lights either, it's got an LED rear light unit and the lights work but no brake lights. I'm assuming there are 2 switches but usually I would have expected maybe one to go but not both, anyone know if they are a common fault?

    i converted my rear lights to led on my aerox with no issues on the brakes side of things, only the indicators flash too fast which is also an mot failure.

    For the brakes it usually is the switched, but make sure the brake wire is connected to the new rear light, thier is a separate wire for rear light and brake light.
