Speedo Stopped

[Guest]

As the topic says the speed on my "57" Yamaha YBR125 has stopped working and i dont have a clue how to get it going again.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

more likely snapped cable .... front wheel thickish black cable goes to the hub with a knurled nut on end and same on speedo end ...

undo the wheel end of it and try spinning it with fingers or a drill on a slow speed and get faster ( if it dont work at frst try opposite direction and look at speedo see if any movement if none remove cable and try pulling both ends of inner cable in opposite direction 95% time it will be snapped somewhere along its length if intact but after trying the drill test speedo does not work suspect speedo if speedo works suspect the speedo drive on the wheel hub .....

Make sure cable is in both the drive and speedo first and that it is up tight

Going to try right now will let you know what happens.

just tried that and managed to pull the cable out too the entire cable is there so im going to push it back in maybe it had become loose.

[Guest]

it had a square end at the wheel part and a part like a drill at the speedo end of things put it back in and still no response

ok if cable seems fine ( not sure what you mean by like a drill unless it uses a worm gear ( spiral type end )

attach only to the wheel end and spin frontwheel to see if cable spins

if not suspect the drive unit if spins suspect the speedo

all i can offer at the mo

Thanks for all your help going to check that right now.

Couldnt get it off the speedo end so im going to drop it off at a dealers tommorow maybe get it serviced too.

Are you sure the drill looking end isnt looking like that because the cable has snapped?

I thought similar thing when mine went for the first time

Cost me like £10 fitted it myself and job done!

[Guest]

I will check again red but im more then sure its a worm gear.

[Guest]

Just checked it defantly a worm gear

[Guest]

You was right TimR the cable has snapped right at the end of the worm gear,

So now the question is where to get hold of a cable
