If it's the sort where the cable rotates, it's worth checking that cable is still in one bit. they break eventually.

DSS should list it, although it may not be called that on their site. Give them a ring?

Some bikes have the cable coming from the gearbox final drive.

Pull the inner cable out. If there is no suqare end, then its bust. You just need to follow the cable down to see where its driving from.

i suspect it is the cable that is broken. i removed the speedo drive and nylon nut, the nut rotates and the small block on the other side of the drive rotates as well, however the end of the cable does not rotate.

ordered a new drive and speedo just incase, honda dealership were wanting £93 and wait till end of august for the drive so bought a used one from a vfr which is the same for a tenner and ordered a few bits and bobs from david silvers.

hopefully they'll arrive in a few days.
