i'm assuming it's the speedo cable! runs next to the front brake hose...? in the way home noticed i no longer had the ability to tell how fast i was going, the speedo read 0. the tripmeter is still clocking up units though. so got home and checked the connection down by front brake. the switch the wire goes on to has backed out and looks to be unscrewed and on the last few threads. how does the wires fix on to this, is it a connector? tried pulling off and it won't budge and don't wanna snap it. i'm assuming this is the problem. need to screw the switch back in but can't get it to turn with the wire on plus it doesn't seem to have any flat sides to put a socket on it. can anyone help?
There should be a connector further up near your bars. Unplug it there, pull the wire out down the fork and then thread in as much as you need. Run the cable back up the fork and reconnect.
good call! funnily enough was mulling it over last night and thought that would be the way to do it if it doesn't come off at the sensor. thanks mate
