Title: Speedo failure
Post by: albervin on September 25, 2013, 06:58:42 AM
My speedo "died" on Sunday. 12,568 miles. I was attempting the longest ride on the 90 Deluxe in the 18 years I have owned it. One really big hill and several smaller ones. Max of 54 mph was obtained, briefly. Anyway, the worm drive is sheared and there are nasty marks on the drive gear. The cable also sheared at the speedo head.  >:( IF I can obtain a new worm drive (suggestions please) how do I extract the old one? I see a tiny grub screw but I couldn't pull out the gear using the cable. So, I need to remove old worm gear and buy new inner cable, worm gear and possibly drive gear. The bike is virtually original from new and I hate it when these things happen  :'(

Sorry for the duplication. Problem with Mac, ISP and Jack (Daniels). :P
