Speedometer cable breaking Mystery
Written by kjhoconnor on 1/17/2012 at 05:59 pm

I have 39K on my PC and the cable broke about 4" from the speedometer.
Purchased a new cable with housing and pulled the cable out to lube, reinstalled
cable into casing and installed on bike. Took a test ride down the street to
find that the cable / speedometer worked fine.
Found a nice day in NC, rode approximately 20+ miles to find the speedometer not
working again. Removed the speedo cable from housing to find cable broke again
about 2" from speedometer head. Which leads me to beleive something is locking
up or broken gear in the head. Attached a drill on it to view the workings of
what turns internally. From what I can tell no broken gears and everything seems
to operate smoothly.

Has This Happened to Anybody and what was your fix.....
