Apologies if I've asked this before. Whilst riding my ER5 the other day, the speedo and Milometer suddenly stopped working. Any ideas?

The cable will have either come undone or snapped. Put some blue locktite on it when you refit it.

As above, follow the cable from your speedo drive, in to the back of your clocks. It will have come out.


I used to have an er5 and it happend to me.

The speedo drive on mine was near the front wheel, you can't miss it as the cable goes all the way up to your clocks.

Worse case the end off the cable where it goes in to the clocks has snapped, if this has happend you need to buy a new cable, about 7 quid from the bay.
