Hi I replaced the driveshaft bearing, which originally messed up speed sensor. Magnetic pickup had a bunch of debris stuck to it when bearing went south. I removed the little gear, I’ll call it, bolted into the end of the driveshaft that I assume works with the magnet to come up with a speed. I failed to notice if that gear is supposed to be torqued to just spin as drive shaft spins or less torque to allow it to I guess free wheel, able to just spin it frearly? Thanks. Any engineering types I would love to be educated on how these actually work? Thanks. Way to late in the season to be working on sleds!! Take care,
Bob

Wish I could help, but fixed mine via checkbook last winter when my bearing crapped the bed.

Tightened down .Spins the same speed as your driveshaft

I replaced bearing, was bad, took out speedometer, dinged up speed sensor(magnet), tried old one no speed, R&R speed sensor still no speedometer. Battery not installed, don’t think that would effect it would it? Nothing mechanical anymore in this speed sensing system so I’m confused. Any help appreciated.

Is the piece that is bolted to the driveshaft damaged?
You battery has nothing to do with it.

This is what I have, as far as damaged, just looks fine to me, what do you think? Unless there is suppose to be something else there that was damaged when bearing went bad.

That doesn’t look right. It should be like a full gear like #16 in this pic.

It looks like the bearing ground it down or somthing

Thanks, well that would explain it. I’ll look at a pic next time at the part store and order it. Must have got destroyed when bearing went. By the way any links to buy good old fashioned hard copy Polaris service service manuals? Seems harder and harder to find, don’t really like the on line manuals. Thanks again.

Sorry. Forgot to put part number 5136619. Called a speedo pickup wheel. As for the hardcopy manual. Not to sure, maybe ebay?

Bearing journal looks shot also. I have a complete driveshaft available for sale if you want it. Has bearing and speedo pickup. Let me know
