kevin10529 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 The speedo on my 96 thundercat just stopped working on the way back from Kirkcudbright last night.Have to go back tonight but am stuck at work at the moment and will only have about 25 mins to fix it b4 i have to leave. Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? I was just crusing along at 60-70 then it dropped to 0! Its been in for a 600 sterling service(Forks re-oiled, valve clearances, new pipes, new double bubble screen,12 v charger) last week. Was thinking the guy just never connected the speedo cable properly and its worked its way free. cheers kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterxj600 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 If the cable is screwed correctly to the speedo the inner cable has possibly snapped. Disconnect the cable from the speedo, spin the wheel, does the inner cable still rotate? If it doesn't the cable is snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin10529 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Are they hard to replace? Got one on the way for £8 off evilbay. Any ideas how much a bike shop would charge to put in on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
