Title: my speedo busted.... Post by runwyrlph on 06/17/15 at 16:44:39 No, not the swim suit (believe me, that's not something anybody ever wants to see) :) It was working fine when I switched to reserve today, cause I always check the odo and estimate mileage. Got gas, and when I glanced down a couple miles later, it's not working. No speedometer, no odometer. The only thing i checked so far is that it is still connected at the crankcase end. Is there a common point of failure anybody knows about? I could get by ok without a speedometer, but I like having an odometer. |

Title: Re: my speedo busted.... Post by Dave on 06/18/15 at 08:28:16 You might check the angle drive on the back of the speedometer and see if that is what is broken. I have a spare speedometer with 40,435 miles on it that works fine. It is yours if you pay the shipping cost. |

Title: Re: my speedo busted.... Post by runwyrlph on 07/17/15 at 11:48:38 haha mike! , ... yeah it died at like 25,147 or something like that, So I estimate i've ridden about 5,000 miles since then so, I'd put my total about 30K now, more or less. ;) :P I finally took the 10 seconds last night to unscrew the cable... the little hickey that sticks down into the case is busted off of the cable, so I'm looking for a new cable. (I do miss the odometer - i never know when I'm going to hit reserve now.) |

Title: Re: my speedo busted.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/17/15 at 17:29:38 Used to be able to get Speedo cables made. Just gotta have the cable and the gizmo to squeeze it square. I have no clue where to go to get that done now. |

Title: Re: my speedo busted.... Post by 01suzsavage on 07/17/15 at 21:07:06 Mine worked itself loose at the speedometer end of the cable. I had to take the tank off and screw it back in |

Title: Re: my speedo busted.... Post by old_rider on 07/19/15 at 08:32:46 Buy yourself one of the Bell 100 bicycle speedo's ... you can reset odo tripmeter to see what miles you have. Cost is about $10 at wally world, and it is easy to install. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Bm5q9LKfk [/media] |

I saw one on Amazon that SAID it was for LS650 $14.99 + $6, but didn't look right and the review said it didnt work I got a used one on the way from Yoshi already, hopefully I'll be clocking up the miles again pretty soon. |

Just contact somebody building a RYCA....they don't use the stock speedo or cable anymore. I am sure there are plenty of used cables just laying in boxes waiting for a new owner......you can watch the forum and see who is working on a RYCA or some other form of bobber/rat/cafe bike and contact them. |
