Harv Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Does any one else have a Yamaha XS360-2D ?.. The speedometer cable is what I need info on. The one one my 360 has a threaded collar that goes to the speedo. The other end has a push in bushing affair with an o ring. Pushes in and secured by a clip. The Yamaha Parts manuel shows that type of cable as being the Tachometer cable and the speedo cable having a threaded collar fitting on both ends. I need a new speedometer cable but want to make sure I'll get the correct part..

The bayonet tip wasn't inserting far enough to make up with the drive assembly in the hub. I pulled the cable out and pushed an 8d box nail down in the in the housing, rapped on the end of the fitting with a plastic hammer untill I got it compressed back to the correct length. The 8d nail kept it from distorting the inner housing. Any way, it spins nicely. I thought of doing that when my eyeballs popped open at 3:30 AM , my brain lightbulb came on, aha!!
