Re: speedo problem....

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The easiest way to find the problem in the speedo is to raise the left 
front wheel and while an assistant rotates the wheel you disconnect 
the cable to the lambda counter and see if the inner cable is 
turning.If it isn't the trouble is between there and the wheel for 
instance the angle drive, the drive cover, or lower cable. If the 
inner cable is turning reattach to the counter and remove the upper 
cable. The lambda counter should now be turning. The problem is now 
the upper cable or the speedo itself. Most of the time the problem is 
between the wheel and lambda counter. Make sure that you have properly 
attached the cable to the counter and that there is a support bracket 
on the lower cable. To check the drive cover remove the left wheel and 
in the center is a round plastic disc. In the center is a SQUARE hole 
that engages the cable to the angle drive. Sometimes it will get 
rounded out and not turn the square cable to the angle drive. When you 
rotate the square cable if you remove the lower cable from the angle 
drive you can see if the angle drive is turning. while you are there 
it should be lubricated. Remove the screw and shoot some oil or light 
grease into it.
