Speedo not working - Honda XR125L

[alol74]

Since only today I received my brand-new helmet, I have just finished my first ever ride on my lovely seconda-hand Honda bike and discovered that speedo isn't working

I can see that speedo hose (?) may be the reason, as that hose has another wee one smaller in diameter hose inserted and connecting that hose to hose leading to the frontal wheel's hub... And that small bit between larger hoses is a bit loose, not making a sealed connection...

Can someone suggest where I can start checking what is wrong ?

Thanks

wheel driven drive, with cable..

undo the cable and check the inner (metal core), it could be broken.. if so remove from speedo and replace..

otherwise, whilst the cable is off, prop the bike up (centrestand and a mate) front wheel off the ground and turn the wheel, you should see looking inside the drive the inners turning..

if not the drive gear is broken, both easy and cheap fixes..

It appears that the cable is actually broken just where it was wired to a wee metalic thingy (very clear eh ?) which in turn goes into drive unit. The drive unit has a thing which looks like a screwdriver head which actually goes into that metallic bit that I was talking about above and which falls off So I guess I'll need new speedo cable...
