Currently drive a Suzuki en 125 import.
Speedometer doesn't work. So bought a cheapo on fleabay.
This kinds works reads in km but it shows 70km as 30mph.

I presume it's reading 30mph as 70 km due to the ratio being wrong

Anyone got a suggesting for a cheap replacement Speedo. I wouldn't mind a gps based one but it's gotta be cheap.

Also replacing the clocks is not an option as a replacement is over £140.

I've had one of those Ebay cable-driven speedos before, and it was complete rubbish. Looked great, was robust and waterproof, speed (and needle) went up to 100mph, and the moment I exceeded that, it threw the ratio out completely.

Have you considered one of those that has a digital readout and works by electromagnetism?

And you need a speedo to be road legal.

I've broken the pointer on mine EN125"s speedo. & instrument case only held on + 1 nut & bolt now, & lower ½ + rope.
I've +1 speedo came + mudguard, but now that 1 also lost its pointer.
Did you fit the adaptor between your speedo & its cable to convert kms to miles?
Bought cheap speedo, tried it—fits to handlebar & EN125"s speedo cable (its own differs at the bottom).
Looking at buying GN125 'clocks'—China, or 12V Retro Motorcycle Multifunction Speedometer mph kph Gas Gauge Assembly, in chrome + fuel & volt gauges; to go + my chrome headlamp.
Bought speedo + odometer, high-beam & gear in uses; but came + 9 way instead of 6 way connector.


What language is this please?
