What to Do When the Motorcycle Speedometer Stops Working?

[BeckettLee]

1. Remove the speed cable by loosening the fixed nut under the speedometer and pulling out the speed cable. Then lift the front wheel and rotate it to see if the speed cable rotates along with it. If it rotates, the issue is likely with the dial, possibly due to a broken or loose reduction gear inside the dial. This is more troublesome because individual speedometer dials are not sold separately, and the entire assembly must be replaced. If the cable does not rotate, it may be broken or the counting claw inside the front axle may be excessively worn. In this case, simply take it to an after-sales service for repair. 2. Open the front handle cover (headlight cover) and check if the screw cap at the speedometer port is loose or missing. Tightening it should resolve the issue. If both the speedometer and odometer stop working, check if the odometer cable has come off or broken, or if the speed gear inside the front wheel is damaged. If the odometer still records mileage but the speed needle does not move, the speedometer itself is likely faulty and will need to be replaced.
