Gilera Stalker Speedo Query.

[scottishcammy]

Hi,
my speedo started juddering a few days ago and firmly dropped it's way to 0 & won't move.

I managed to discoonect my speedo cable at the clock end and wheel end.
However, I notice that if I turn one end by hand, the other end turns no problem. That would seem to indicate the cable is working fine. I can't see anything obvious with the speedo indicator/housing itself. Any ideas?
I'm selling this shortly and would like ot get it fixed so it's at it's best.

Can you get in a position to see if the drive is turning, (where the cable connects to the wheel), when you spin the wheel Also, if you can, take the inner cable out just to check. When you spin it at one end it could be broke but still catch and look like it's ok.

[scottishcammy]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give that a go mate and let you know.

Hi, managed to have a look in the barrel at the wheel. Very difficult to see, but when I span the wheel I didn't notice any difference/anyhting moving inside.
Is there much else I can do mate?

If you can get the inner cable out, just stick that in the drive on the wheel and spin it again.

Pull the inner cable out and put it into the drive and spin the wheel and see if it turns... if not replace the drive.

Either the 2 plastic lugs inside the drive that locate on the wheel are broken off (normally happens if wheels been removed and refitted) or the plastic teeth have stripped.

excellent, thanks very much. Do you know where I can get hold of a drive & are they pricey?

Any Piaggio dealer will have them chap. About £10-£15

Or theres the bloke Newparts on scooterworld too.
