while the motor is off, I wanna get the hole drilled for the speed sensor...
not sure if I need to drill in the same spot as fzr...
and I need to find a drill bit...cant seem to find one anywhere

i hear the hole is in the same spot. home depot has a nice selection of drill bits thats where i get mine. i saw a photo of someone putting the speed sensor on the outside of the engine pointed at the front sprocket teeth and it worked for them thats what im gonna try first.

Haro,
Make sure you have a spare sensor that is a high risk area .

I cant find one that not in a $180 set...
and I only have a 1/2" shank on my drill and the 3/4" bit has a huge shank

..ok...now with trying to be serious here

when im drilling it, do I need to go really slow?
Im worried of bursting threw and going too deep
dont wanna mess up my tranny.

someone said to put oil on the bit so it collects the shaving...
I think Ill drill to almost threw the case, then clean all the shaving. then drill the rest carefully.
then stick my finger in her and feel around for any foreign objects.
then put the sensor inher and flush oil threw the system to make sure NO shavings!

how thick is the case?

just drill the thing already, (Your GF told me that) hahaha
Yes go slow with drilling oil, if the motor is off the bike you might want to take the the pan off and clean it out after drilling. I plan on doing a 660 conversion eventually, and redrilling that hole in a new pan, so I don't need the plate I have now.

the yzf case doesnt look like the fzr case...so now i don even have a clue where to drill

Can you post a picture I am pretty dure someone drilled a YZF case....... and there is a picture...... just can't remember who.

I'm sure you have looked at this.

that makes everything easier
didnt know someone drilled the yzf case before.
looks like they even tapped it for the mount!

that is mine. I might have downloaded the YZF picture.

I don't have it at work. It was someone on here that had got a screaming deal on a older yzf, and they were going todo a r6 dash on it. they drilled the hole, but decided to sell it instead.

Not sure who's bike they are, But I think it is a YZF or R6.....Maybe, click on the thumbnails for Fullsize photos

thats marks (95fzr600)

Perhaps this is a dumb question, but a speed sensor for what? Are you installing a different set of gauges?
