My speedometer MPH gauge quit working and started making a whirring sound. The odometer continues to work. I removed the entire assembly from the bike and attempted the lubrication as documented in some of the prior threads on this topic, I also made sure the cable was lubricated and the wheel hub meter was correctly operating. I reinstalled the speedometer and checked its operation, same symptoms as before.
Following the disassembly procedure documented in older threads, I removed the faceplate from the speedometer. What a job!
I need advice on removing the trip knob, as it is stubborn as heck. I think the plastic knob assembly is pressed onto the metal shaft protruding from the main assembly. Therefore it should pull/pry off the unit, right? I need to get it off before I can pull out the guts of the main assembly and inspect it.
Question – does the plastic trip knob pull off the metal shaft?
I am under no illusions as to the ultimate success of a repair on this assembly. I consider a repair unlikely but worth the try. If nothing else I have some parts for future repairs.
