speedo cable

Post by moondoggers » Sat Sep 07, 2013 11:22 pm

Bought a speedo cable from Taiwan for my 66' cl77 installed it, pretty sure the tip found the slot at the hub.took the bike for a short ride, speedo needle didn't move. What's the trouble shoot for a stuck needle.

test the speedo with a bit of cable in a drill motor (ccw). either it works or it doesn't. they can be rebuilt, it's very expensive. also check that the speedo gearbox is properly meshed at the axle (long shot)
Good luck
