After putting the bike to sleep thru the winter and finally trying to ride it this nice Saturday, my speedo started to show "err 3" after goin for about 10 minutes.. Does anyone know what that means?

I'm no help as all of my bikes still have speedo cables Shocked ..

Plenty of members here with new models though that might be able to help. It would be easier for them to assist if you mention the model of bike and the type of clocks on it.

Hhhmmmmm.....not a clock I'm familiar with....the only other bike ever to use the same unit was the ducati mh900e...launched for sale dec 31st 1999...but they put a chrome casting around it....early db5 models also used it....take off the spoiler in front of it...2 no m4 dome headed bolts....unplug the unit....and plug it back in again.....it may reset to km per hr....but...if both your buttons work I can talk to thru changing back to mph

It is worth to go trough all connections and wires to see if everything is tight and rust free. Might be just some loose connection somewhere...

seems that pick up for speedo might be malfunctioning or need adjustment.
Damn!

The gap between the speedo sensor and the disc bolts is critical....its held in place on the rearbrake caliper billet hanging plate by a teeny tiny 2mm grub screw in the edge face of the plate....the gap should be about 2.5mm between the face of the bolts and the face of the speedo sensor....check with a 2.5mm size allen key.......The senders can fail as the magnets lose their magnetism over time.....Ducati fitted a chrome plated version of those clocks on the MH900E in 1999....but their speedo sensor they fitted on the front sprocket casing...so I have no idea if the sensor is the same....

Did you discover what caused the error code, and fix it? My DB6 did the same thing last week. Mine is also a 2007 DB6 with the same tach and ECU. Thanks.
