Speedo fail
Written by daviddockstader on 6/7/2010 at 03:52 am

You can pull the cable from the bottom and lube it any time. No need to pull the
housing, just unfasten from the gear and pull the cable lube and shove it back
in.

sure if you can get it off without removing any of the front plastics. Probably,
but for ease I removed the windshield and the vent bits. That gave me direct
access to the back of the instrument cluster.

cable, if you can reach up from under the front fairing, could be done in
minutes. Like I mentioned, I took off the windshield and the vent in front. So
that took some time. Also the gear required wheel removal, which required
fender/wheel cover removal.
