moemoe Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 have you tried pulling the speedo drive gear and re-packing it with grease? could the cable itself need oiling? Yes I repacked the drive gear and oiled the cable. You can actually feel a stronger vibration from the speedo, and if you ride it at 15-20mph and stick your ear by it, it is coming directly from the speedo. Is it possible to get into the speedo?
