How to Repair a Motorcycle Odometer That Isn't Working?

[Paislee]

There are several main steps to solve the issue of a motorcycle odometer not working, which are as follows: 1. First, remove the speedometer cable from the front wheel to check if the cable is broken. 2. Rotate the front wheel to see if the gear shaft rotates. If the cable is broken, replace it directly. 3. If the gear shaft does not rotate, remove the front wheel for repair or replace the speedometer gear. Common faults in the transmission system of scooters generally include the following: 1. Wear of the front variator rollers. Fault principle: After the front variator rollers wear out, the centrifugal force generated by the rollers with engine speed changes decreases, and sometimes they may even get stuck in the roller groove and fail to return, resulting in poor separation at idle. Fault symptom: The motorcycle moves forward even when idling. 2. Wear of the front variator bushing. After the front variator bushing wears out, the entire variator may run eccentrically, leading to abnormal engine noise, similar to the sound of a faulty engine crankshaft. 3. Wear of the rear variator. After the rear variator shoes and variator plate wear out, symptoms such as sluggish acceleration and increased fuel consumption may occur. If the rear variator shoe spring breaks, poor separation may result, causing the vehicle to move forward even at idle. If the rear variator's large spring softens or loosens, the vehicle may experience shaking during startup. 4. Breakage of the drive belt. If the front and rear variators are not properly maintained and continue to operate despite severe wear, it may eventually lead to belt breakage.
