Hi, I have used the search function for the notorious speedo cable issues, but I can't find an answer to whats happening with my bike. I bought the bike a week ago, and the speedo was working , including the odometer ( as this is what I use for a fuel gauge). A few days after i had the bike the speedo cable broke at the transmission end. I put this down to Murphy's Law - me just buying the bike , and ordered a new cable from Gutsibits. Cable arrives very promptly, Gutsibits told me it was the correct version and it matches the one I took off. fitted new cable to the bike, test ride round the block - everything working fine. Cable broke again after 50 miles - this time at the speedometer end ( the 90 degree bend area). Gutsibits have been good and asked to return the 50 mile old cable and they will order me a new cable in exchange (thanks guys). The speedo works fine, I have put the original broken cable back up into the speedometer and turned the cable by hand. I even fixed it to a drill and it all works fine. Any advice?

I recently had the speedo cable on my 2003 V11 Sport fail. I ordered a new one from Harper's and noticed the female connectors were two different sizes (on either end, one small, one large). This leads me to believe I either have the wrong cable or the male connectors (from the speedo or engine) were switched out at some point. My guess is the former... Thoughts?

Hi all, finally got around to fitting my custom speedhut gauges & thought I'd share. Cheers, Mike
