Title: Jumpy tacho
Post by: danci1973 on August 03, 2004, 02:12:08 PM
Hey!

I've noticed that my tacho got a little jumpy - riding at constant speed it sometimes drops and jumps back - in the range of 2000 RPM...

Has anyone ever had that? Could it just be the tacho cable?

You could try pulling the cable and cleaning it and then relubing with a dry-type lube such as graphite. Love the bike and the forum.

I have always used a high speed wheel bearing grease.
