Doh, Brick Wall My speedo cable just snapped. Great, just bloody great Rolling Eyes That's gonna be £12 for a new one, As I'm only 17 I don't have much cash. That's my petrol money for the week Sad . Unless of course anyone has an old kawasaki Speedo cable hanging around collecting dust that they would want to sell for cheaper than £12 ? Razz

Where has the old one snapped?

My bike is somewhat odd, i was able to steal the inner cable out of an old speedo cable for another bike. chop 6 inces out of the end of it, peel back some of the wire then coat the end in epoxy and file it down.
Works perfectly and saved me £12 Thumbs Up

12 quid will be cheap compared to the 60 quid and the three points on your licence if you ride around without it and get done for speeding. Will it not? Rolling Eyes

You could always manage if you've memorised the points in the rev range and what gear you're in. I know on my 400 it's 5krpm in 3rd for 30mph. Then 5k in 4th for 40. Makes it even easier that my exhaust makes a certain tone at the 5k mark too! Smile

Have you tried looking round ebay for one?
