Broken speedo needle?

[arcane12]

"John at the Speedo Shop has advised me that he has no parts to fix your speedo."

All good though Ill find a way.

Maybe they sell budgie smugglers?

Give these guys a call / send them an email and include your pic from above.
See what ideas they have.
If all you can get is a needle I could get it in there for you

[Laava]

Also you can try Autotech in whangarei with the same e.mail. Good luck.
The trick is, a, to get the case open without munting it and, b, getting the new needle on calibrating it correctly. Not impossible and doable yourself if you have some skills. Personally i,d get someone to do it for me.

E-mail that image to Parrotts in CHCH see if they can fix. They fixed a old Kawa one for me years back - you could not tell they had been in there.

[FJRider]

Or ... E.mail all the bike wreckers that you can find ... and find the cheapest speedo you can. BUY it ... FIT it ...

DONE ...

Unbolt old one ... bolt in new one ... sorted.

Band-aid solutions are a temporary fix.

How did you do that? Did you go way past 280kph or did you reverse really fast?
If you did that in reverse, did you experience any time dilation?

[rastuscat]

Told ya.

It'll buff out.

He forgot to reset the Flux-capacitor on the last pass of 88 MPH ...

I would say it probably would do.

I recently had to get my speedo for my Guzzi fixed. I used E Parrotts in Christchurch. They do an excellent job for a reasonable cost.

You reckon they can do a tach? Mine are sealed units though, the glass has a chrome ring stamped and crimped over the glass onto the tach body.

I bought the bike like it.

It seemed to break in transit, although I wouldn't be surprised if the mileage was tampered with.

They did my Guzzi one. It's a chrome ring etc also and you can't even tell they got at it. Also, they repainted the needle for me as well.
Def recommend them !!

Yeah Parrot & Son on St Asaph st (still, presumably?), good work. Nothing I've had done by them has ever been what I would call 'cheap', but they do good work, I've never had to take anything back for a tweak.

[Bassmatt]

if the wof agent does not think its accurate
he can require you to get a calibration test done. ( so don't glue a needle on top of the old one as it will be well out. )

.

Unless things have changed in the past couple of years, there are ZERO regulations around speedo accuracy. There is no set variance that a speedo must operate within no rules no regulations nothing, even for a brand new vehicle. DAMIHK. So I'm calling bullshit on a wof tetser being able to demand a calibration test.
As for the op ; The "needle" still moves? Its pointing at a number isn't it? I'd take it through for a wof as is, fuck em.

My Kawa speedo Parrots fixed was a sealed unit with the stainless ring - they did point out that it had to be removed and may not be perfect but when I collected it you could not tell they had had it apart.

I had an old XJ750 ... the speedo was about 20 km's out at 100 km/hr. The LTSA testing station guy told me as he stuck the new WoF label on ... the speedo was way out and I should get it verified how far out it was. (I already knew)

As far as regulations go ... speedo's must work. Period.

As far as legislation goes ... it is up to the vehicle operator to ensure they don't travel faster than the posted speed limit ... in the zone you are in.
