Title: Speedo
Post by: Jimbob on August 26, 2025, 05:00:43 PM
Hi all so I was riding the bike to work this morning off all of a sudden it makes a really loud screeching noise (more than twice as loud as the horn) and I noticed the speedo is off the chart even though I was only doing 70kmh pulled over and I think the speedo cable is buggered so going to replace that. The other thing is part of the plastic dial that points to the speed your doing broke off is that replaceable? Cheers

PS looking around the forum sounds like starwalt has done it but the pictures posted have gone, if he is still here would you be kind enough to repost them please

you have 3d stl printable replqacements for the trip plastic knob, and maybe it fits from other bike
starwalts is magneto epoxy glue coming off(brownish red, more brown as it ages) ,crumbling and shattering, extreme cases clog the oil pickup screen, you have to check oil pan and stator cover
