cookiemonster Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 When i got my bike,the tachometer didn't work.Looked in the cable and i noticed the bit that spins inside was missing.I got a replacement yesterday and connected it to the engine,checked that it did spin, which it did then connected it to the clock.Nothing happened..So i whipped it off to find that the brand new inner cable had been chewed up! So im guessing that's why there was no cable in there when i brought it,but why the hell would the clock chew up the cable? Quote
Bogof Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 why the hell would the clock chew up the cable? If the clock is jammed solid the cable will attempt to spin and go into self-destruct. Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 sounds like the tacho has seized in the clock itself put a small screwdriver up into the drive and see if it turns Quote
cookiemonster Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 cheers,i will try and poke it with a screwdriver before i look at getting a new one.Cant harm it anymore then it already is lol Quote
Roadtorque Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 might be that the cable drive had not located into the clock correctly, check that the two drive ends mate together properly, Quote
