clocking a p series speedo

[doulsy]

bought an original speedo for my p200 as the one i have goes bonkers when it hits 30 mph, is there any way to alter the milage so its the same as the one im replacing?

[henri]

same as clocking any speedo , drill an old speedo inner . its grey-area dodgy tho , H

doulsy, I' m in the same boat, I have a new speedo to fit too. I'll be doing what I always do in this situation and just keep the old speedo, that way I can just hand it to any new owner, with the old MOTs, to show them the milage.

All the best

Not a bad idea Jim, my speedo cable had been broken for 5 years, mot tester couldn't care less!

[mijapxman]

Hi ironsloth,don't think you need a working speedo for an MOT, so don't give your tester a tip, he's not giving you special treatment. Lol.😀( joke)

Ride safe mate.

my scooter never had a speedo and had not seen an MOT or a road for that matter for 3 decades, new speedo went on it after resto and its just done over a thousand miles, i dont really care what milage shows but my insurance has note of it because im on limited milage, almost 40 year old bike and no one can prove the milage is not genuine , i spoke to previous owner and he cant even remember the scooter , H, i thought about the drill, so that actually works?

Drill works but takes ages, on the wife's old VW camper I just undid the number rail and rotated the numbers until it read the right mileage.
Can't remember what a P2 speedo looks like inside

Think I would keep it going nuts after 30mph, it would make me feel amazing doing 40! 😆

it would just be nice to know how fast you are going, the cheap indian speedo dont sit right either, thought about a sip one but there is two much involved.

[doulsy]

anyone know how to replace the glass and the metal bit around it? dont want to force it incase it twists off, its pretty tatty looking.

Same principles as this if I remember rightly

saw that one but the p series are different, i will get a picture up

[mushroom]

My MK1 P2 had the metal rim you just prised off with a scewdriver

[doulsy]

there is ment to be little plastic clips on the speedo holder for tucking cables neatly, would be handy if anyone knew where to source them.

[doulsy]

lol we just posted at the same time

I'll see if I can find my old speedo, it might still have them on the back

if i had known you had a speedo i could have bought it, been looking for a genuine one for a while, getting harder to get stuff for the p series unless you buy the indian rubbish, found my self buying stuff then putting it in the bin.

[mushroom]

Took an hour to find it, don't think it's a genuine one as it has GE stamped on the KMH dial
Back is pretty plain as well
I did take the rim and glass off this one and put it on a Veglia speedo similar to yours though
