sppedo cable

[bad_religion_au]

ok, my speedo is reading wierd. the needle bounces alot, and sometimes the speedo drops out. (reads 0). also sometimes the speedo will read say 70 k/H, and the tacho, and friends tailing me, will tell me i'm doing 130k's an hour.

speedo cable connection at the T case was loose, but tightening it didn't help much.

speedo cable also appears to have touched the exaust at some point.

any suggestions what to try next

Take cable completely out of housing and grease with AP grease. That should help a lot.

Unless you really fried the housing by running next to the exhaust. Then, get a new cable.

repaired the one of my parts 55, it's shorter than the one off the 40 so i re routed it. that works, i think i really fried the housing on the other one. case closed.
