    Does anyone know where I can source a cable for a speedo on a te250 05?
    The bike didn't come with it when I bought it and had a nightmare trying to source one!
    Worst case scenario, any recommendations for an aftermarket speedo?

    Cheers

    it sounds like you don't need a cable as much as you need the sensor and maybe magnet?

    If your current speedo works (most of these are just glorified bike computers) buy a cheezy bike computer (ebay=$5, chain-type drug store=$10-20 here in the USA) and use the wires/sender/magnet (and maybe the battery!) for an experiment: cut and strip the wires, then pull back the insulator on your bullet connectors and wrap the wires around each one (polarity doesn't matter). spin the front wheel to see if you get a reading- yes? do it all over in a more permanent matter.

    BTW, the first step in the experiment would be to use the entire bike computer alone to make sure everything works. In the end if everything fails... just use the bike computer.

    But the Endurance II is a much better glorified bike computer.

    Also, on your stock speedo: those other wires are just for the indicator lights; the speedo body is a convenient holder for them- that's all.

    There's a little socket on the front wheel in the middle of the brake caliper that looks like a cable should be plugged in. Will try and get a picture tomorrow morning. Considering just getting an aftermarket one at this point

    you're being a little ambiguous... is there a sensor in the hole and it just needs a cable?

    if not, you need a sensor and my advice above stands.

    And if so, figure out how to add two wires to it (temporarily) and connect them to your existing speedo, to see if it works- so you will know if you should go through the hassle of finding a stock cable.

    this ain't that hard.

    The hole is for the sensor cable which includes the sensor. There is a magnet that goes in the rotor.
