Thanks...
When mine quit a few weeks ago, I expected the worse. Unscrew it from the front wheel. When I did, it was the cable. I replaced it and the housing for about $30. If it is the gear drive, then it is also about $30. You have to take the axel out, but I don't think it is a big fix.

Yeah you have to take the front wheel off. On mine its also the left side spacer. There is a little tab that fits into a slot in the rotor. Really you will just have to drop the wheel enough to get the drive in. Which still means pulling the axle. How long since the wheel bearings been re-packed? Since you will have it apart anyhow.

Put a new speedo cable on last night from JP Cycles exact OEM match in length, threaded fittings, etc. and problem seems to be solved. Long ride tomorrow will tell.
