Why is the motorcycle speedometer not working?
1 Answers
If the motorcycle speedometer is not working, it may be due to a damaged dial. The specific details are as follows: 1. If the speed cable rotates with the front wheel: This indicates an issue with the dial, possibly due to broken or loose reduction gears inside the dial. This situation is troublesome because individual speed dials are not sold separately, and the entire motorcycle assembly may need to be replaced. 2. If the speed cable does not rotate with the front wheel: This suggests that the speed cable may be broken or the counting claws inside the front axle may be excessively worn. Further inspection of the speed cable is needed to see if it can be pulled out from the front axle. If it can be pulled out, only the cable needs to be replaced; otherwise, the entire speedometer assembly must be replaced. 3. If both the speedometer and odometer are not working: Check if the odometer cable has fallen off or broken, or if the speed gear inside the front wheel is damaged. If the odometer's mileage count is working but the speed needle is not, only the odometer needs to be replaced.
