    It turns out the speedo drive on the front wheel had managed to strip itself so it's up for replacement. I've never seen that happen before!

    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    They only have a plastic gear in the drive unit (if i remember right), so they can strip pretty easliy. Happens lots on older dirt bikes.

    Yeah the drive was plastic and the bit that turns the cable was metal... The plastic part was totally stripped when I pulled it apart.

    I don't know how it happened though because the speedo cable still turned fine without any resistance so there shouldn't have been anything stopping the metal part from turning to let it strip the plastic. Guess it's just one of those weird things though.

    Bit rude that they're $180 to replace and you can only get em from japan tho!

    Rip off aren't they!

    I have one that could go in the sold ZSR150 now if your in a hurry, then you can replace it for me later.
    I am going to look at ordering some of these plastic speedo drives from my source in Thailand. Will be cheaper and quicker than ordering in NZ.

    Same thing happened to me 3 months ago on the CBX.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker
