Maybe in the 1980s. On a modern bike it is integrated into the transmission, usually on the drive sprocket. And then the signal is used in slightly different ways, with the odometer being accurate and the speedometer generally reading a few % higher than the actual speed. Some bikes may also use it for electronic engine/emission controls too.
- latchkey 4y agoNot all bikes. 2023 DRZ 400sm still has a cable (they haven't modified the design in years). Most scooters/motorbikes are cables too. Even still, it is easily hacked on almost any vehicle (Tesla is a great example of a connected car making it much harder) and there is plenty of YT all about it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPm-9p0YUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPm-9p0YUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MFd7Ufe7v4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MFd7Ufe7v4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wygJwWnFm4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wygJwWnFm4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q_AMBBNk2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q_AMBBNk2A When I was living in Vietnam, I could pay someone about $5 to do it for me. What I learned pretty quickly was that the ODO is the last thing I'd rely on for price.
