Eliminating speedometer (Read 142 times)

thomasoconnor19 Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 147	Eliminating speedometer 05/14/13 at 20:12:01 I am taking the speedo off of my bike and was wondering if its ok to plug where the cable ends with a rubber vacuum plug? Or do I need something with a better seal that threads on?

The cable acts as a wick, w/o it the drive unit is fairly well sealed. Your results may vary. My bike is a bit of an odd duck.

That and a plastic cap that fit and I got a cap to use when I wash w/out the tank.
