SD-42 code and added 2,700 miles on odometer

[Mills]

Had the SD-42 error code come up at the start of a 500 mile charity ride and had no way to put the speed sensor back in place and keep it there. Finished the charity ride and saw that the odometer advanced 2,700 miles instead of 500. Will a dealer correct this issue or am I screwed????

I don't think it can be corrected.

The blame here lies squarely on Yamaha and Cat for not having the sensor fastened a better way.

Gauge pod also showed only 0.8hrs of engine run time and the sled had over 3,000 miles on it when I bought it so that can't be right. Dealer informed me that the gauge pod is faulty and be the cause of the added miles more so than the speedo sensor coming loose. The gauge pod is getting replaced through warranty to correct both the mileage and engine hrs issue.

These will rack up crazy miles with the sensor off. Seen it happen a few times.
