Are you looking to replace the entire cable or just the inner?

Once you've got the headshell containing the speedo off and can see the cable, disconnect the cable from the wheel hub. Pull the inner cable out from the top and then push the inner cable back into the outer but from the bottom. You can then pull the outer up from the top. This will leave the inner in place inside the forks. You then pass your new outer cable down over the inner which guides it back through the little hole in the forks, it might just need a bit of wiggling. Once it's in place lubricate the new inner install it in the outer, replace your headshell top after installing new cable into the speedo and bob's your uncle.
Hope that makes sense.

Headset means just the top section containing the speedo, not the actual headset

It's the bit where it fits into the wheel hub I can't figure out do you need to take the wheel off?
Thank you.

No, just the flat clamp where the cable goes into the hub assembly.

Is it the two little nuts just undo these?

Trace the cable down to the hub, it will go through a little metal plate which if memory serves is held down with 1screw. It might be a Hex head or socket head I can't remember which. Under the plate will be a metal spacer and a rubber bush which causes the cable to clamp in place. Unscrew the bolt which will release the rubber bushes hold on the cable. Remember to take note of the order of the different parts that the cable passes through and thread them onto the new cable in the same order. When you re-tighten the screw it compresses the rubber bush which tightens onto the new cable thus securing it in position.

Hi, my inner speedo cable has snapped, so I have tried to remove it from the top but it is stuck inside the outer. No matter how hard I pull it will not come out. So it looks like I will have to change both the inner/outer cable. What is the best way to do this? Thanks

Have you tried flooding the cable with 3in 1 oil, leaving overnight and then pulling with pliers?
sorry if im telling you how to suck eggs!

It's snapped because it's jammed - probably where it goes into the forks.
To get it moving I'd start by pushing the slack of the outer up into the forks an inch or two and try pulling that part from the top - the bottom part should come out easily if you remove it from the worm by unscrewing the plate.
However, if it is jammed, it's likely to be damaged inside too, so best to replace the outer as well. There's write-ups on the here if you search, but basically you pull the old inner out leaving the outer, then push the new inner up from the bottom ( the wrong way up), then remove the old outer, then thread the new outer down over your new inner (it's tricky where it comes out of the forks), then withdraw the inner, lube it up if you haven't already, and reinsert it the right way up. Then there might be a bit of jiggling to get the outer the exact length to get the inner to sit in the speedo and the drive cog (inspect the drive cog for damage too; if it snapped a cable it might be stripped).
That should get you started.................

If the inner is proper stuck you might have to resort to attaching the new inner to the bottom end of the old outer and pulling it up through the forks and then using the inner to guide the new outer back down the forks. It's a pain but what can you do.
If I had the brass I think I would consider the sip Speedo.

Ta Phatanglo, I did this on mine and it worked a treat... alas I'm having issues with the worm gear as I've gone through 3?? I replaced cable & worm gear and lived both with high quality grease. When I placed work gear in drive I gently rotated wheel back and drive fitted snugly. I then fitted the metal grommet and slid the rubber seal & plate over the cable and fed it into the drive while gently rotating wheel back to ensure it was engaged before securing with bolt. Then I tested it and the speedo lasted one week then the worm gear ground to nothing again? I removed the hub and there was no damage to drive gear or debris etc. I replaced worm gear with another well lubed one and it worked fine when I rode it however as I wheeled it back wards to park I could feel clicking in the front hub & when I rode again the speedo stopped working & the clicking stopped. ? Worm gear worm again? What could cause this? As cable, worm gear & hub are well lubed with grease. Many thanks. RWS |

Could be doing up the bolt too tight. Are you putting the the speedo cable right in before doing the bolt up? and then just nipping it not so tight?

I've been making sure cable is well seated then slide rubber seal and plate down & then ensure I tighten it tight, proper tight.... I have a spare worm gear which I'll try and tomorrow and just tighten bolt not so tight! It's got to be something as simple as that as everything else looks so pristine and new and no sign of wear? Ta muchly. |
