The other week I went for a spin into town after some more fine tuning.
Anyway as I was nearly there I discovered I had no speedo, I thought did I have one before, did I refit after fiddling with front wheel?
Pretty sure I did, anyway stopped bike to inspect cable at front wheel.
I discover the end of the hand wrapped around the axle and not attached to Box assembly.I managed to peel away and continued on.
So I remove completely and order new cable,it arrived and today I refitted in hope of extending my riding on the weekend, I go for a run down the driveway no speedo. After considerable examination I remove the wheel and inspect Box assembly only to discover drive cog is seized and immovable, I chipped it out and the nylon teeth are all stripped.
Managed to organize a replacement hopefully will arrive by Friday.
So don't know what happened, has anyone heard of or experienced this before.
Cheers

May not have had enough lubrication in the box....
Honda manage to wreck mine, but did replace it for free

Don't know Brock thought I had plenty of grease in there. to late to tell now.
The tightening of the axle bolt wouldn't impact on that? (90 N-m)

Not sure, I think if its not seated correctly (easy to do I think) it can be damaged.If the Honda techs can do it, any one can

:wht11 py
they are a pain in the proverbial wheel/speedo
had new tyre fitted before Ballarat and 1500 k was all I got before no reading
Oh shit need new drive unit so I ordered two and a new cable.
Nothing wrong with unit but replaced both anyway.
as of today still no BLOODY speedo working.
Staring to get the shits. would have clocked on the 200, by now.
