Title: Speedo RATTLE CRACKLE SMACKLE DINGLE
Post by cornfuzed on 03/20/12 at 07:26:00
Now that the Valve job is done.. Properly  8-) It was OFF to the speedo that has more than once made me stop off somewhere and almost buy a 8lb sledge hammer.
What i did was read the speedo rattle thread
http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1179104436
An started thinkin.. An off i went to Lowes yesterday and got
2 packs of Hillman Rubber Grommets ( 5/8OD x 5/16ID )
1 pack of Hillman Flat Washers Nylon ( 1/2 x 9/32 x 1/32 )

An thanks to OF and Digger I tore into the job. What i did different is that when the speedo is pulled out of the tank the Tab Holes where the speedo studs go through are big enough that the rubber grommets fit into them perfectly as the grommets are slotted so big - thin - big kinda like a samich :P

so 3 rubber grommets fitted into the tab holes and greased the speedo poles lightly and fitted the speedo back then added the flat nylon washers i got then the spring then the washer then the nut.  NOOO MORE STINKIN RATTLES!!!

WOOOO!!! an again... Thanks to OF an Digger cause i sure wouldnt have figured it out...

8-) 8-)

Cornfuzed, Oldfeller, I think has a detailed tech post on the speedo rattle. I did mine different by using rubber hose only slid down against the speedo and rubber hose slid down on the other side of the mounts. I can't picture it now, but hose is squished slightly on both sides of the flange, I think. No rattle and took 30 minutes.

Oops. didn't finish yor post before running off at the mouth. Anyway that's what I did.

Yep, it's been three years now since I did the speedo rattle mod and have yet to see a problem!
