Speedo not working!

Postby Ultramarine » Tue Apr 21, 2009 6:17 pm

Hey guys,
I was riding home from work today when the the bike just lost power and died. I figured that it had run out of fuel so switched it to reserve, started it up and rode to the petrol station.
Once I filled up I reset the trip meter to zero (I got 280km out of my first tank, not bad) and when I was pulling out of the servo I noticed the speedo isn't working!
The trip meter and the speedometer don't work! The tacho still works fine but I have no idea what happened. It was working fine until I reset the it to zero.

Any ideas?

sometimes they unscrew themselves because of the good vibrations.

Pulled the front fairings off and found the speedo cable handing down all by itself. Simply screwed it back in and tightened her up!
Thanks guys! Saved me some bucks.
