RS50 speedo issue!

The girl that bought my 50 is having a prob with the speedo! its completly fucked!! had a look and all connexions look good and tight, but you can go down road about 30mph and speedo is only reading 5mph, anyone had this problem? is it common and can it be fixed easily?

cheers

Speedo drive could be missing a few Teeth.

new cable needed, £10

New cable like Will said.

i would personally say its the worm drive (speedo drive itself ) like jon said

Check the whole speedo cable for breaks, by taking it out the sleeve.

Now, unplug the cable at the back of the dials, keep the other end screwed in the speedo drive.

Now, push the bike forward slowly, you should see the cable turning/feel it.

If it doesn't turn or it does it every now and again, then its the speedo drive.

But surely its her problem, as its a perishable item that doesn't last the lifetime of the bike?

Sounds more like the speedo drive than anything.

Bouney... your a bit out of date

This bike has been sold and is up for sale by the new owner now
