NEV Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Any body out there recently taken out their inner cables for the Speedo and Rev cable? took mine out today, to clean them and am buggered if I can remember which way round they go, there is a difference in the ends as one end if you feed it through the top stops due to a tiny washer,and the square last inch of the inner cable, or if you feed it through from the bottom of the outer cable stops leaving about an inch of square to sit in the engine for the rev cable, or speedo mechanism on the wheel for the speedo cable, can't find owt in the manual, anybody have an idea? (cough cough, OG)

(cough cough, OG) funny you shold ask that I had my tacho cable disconnected today. As you know I sold my DTR and for that matter never had the cables disconnected. However getting back to today and the DTMX tacho cable...it's fed upeards from the bottom
yamahait Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 hi i always fit them with washer at top, on speedo,idea being if bottom comes loose you dont loose the inner cable,dont really see what difference it makes except previous reason for doing so. cheers

NEV Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 dohh that makes sense Aye agree, it does makes sense, but it did have me thinking mind, that if the bottom of the inner cable got gnarled /chewed up, which can happen, you can just pull it out feed a new one up without taking all the headlamp cowling, headlight etc off. But seeing as both you lads have same idea to feed it from the top, I'll go with that, cheers OG, and Yamahait.

NEV Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 I reckon OGOB first go is right, the washer stops the cable from going too far into the drive, Merv Hold on a sec, I've fed both inner cables + washer from the top, so I need to feed from the bottom? I'll go have a look on the xt tomorrow, see how that ones fitted
