Urgent Help Needed In Wgtn!!!

**Str8 Jacket** · 10th November 2006, 10:37

Ive just sold my bike.... the guys coming to pick it up on Sunday... BUT I was just out riding down the motorway to TSS when my speedo stopped working. Its happened quite a bit before and its usually just because the speedo cable has fallen out but yesterday it was loctited (sp?) in place. When I got to TSS the guys had a quick look at it but because of the loctite they could undo the screw... They pulled the cable out and had a look but they it did look OK, then they jacked the bike up and had a look at the speedo drive. They reckon its stuffed.... Im not so sure as they couldnt get the screw undone to check where it is screwed in without taking of the fairing, however I was just there to buy boots so it wasnt booked in ad they didnt have time... Is anyone able to help me out in the next day or two by taking the fairing off and getting the loctite loosened around the screw so I can see if that will work? I would REALLY appreciate it as I am supposed to be sitting my Full Licence on Sunday and need the bike to be working!!!

try using a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the locktite.

I have the tools and the garage. I can't say that my knowledge is anything flash but you're welcome to stop by and we'll have a crack at it.
