    Speedo gear

    When I got my 81H the speedo didn't work, the guy said it was the cable so I changed that and still didn'twork. thinking the speedo was the problem because it looked tampered with Got a different speedo and that didn'twork either. So today I got a different gear mech that is connected to the wheel and will see if that works. my guess is the small dogs broke inside it. Is this common ? Thanks . And yes I could have saved a LOT of time had I just spun the wheel when it was disconneted from the speedo to see if it was spinning to begin with.

    There should be a washer with 2 tabs sticking up that fit into the slots of the speedo gear on the front wheel. Are they there and lined up right Ken?

    If you need I can send some pics if you don't know what I'm talking about.

      Hi Greg, I took the inner peice out also so I have them, Im concernedif I might need the washers andthat spring that went around it/ that seemed to be pressed in. I have no idea what year the old bike was due to being stripped down so much and if they are compatable. I just had a new tire put on last week and I wish I would have gotten the parts sooner EEither way I got the parts for 10 bucks so not a big investment if I can get it to work. I'm thinking those tabs/dogs in mine are bent or broke.Thanks

        There should be that ring with tabs that fit into slots in the wheel and tabs that fit into slots in the gear, a spacer on top of that all held in there by a grease/dust seal.

        I think I may have a Standard gear out here and the other parts are the same on all models.

          Have you had to replace them before? If so which are the parts that break? I got the whole outer housing intact but only got the locking washer that was inset held by the seals. the old seals got wrecked removing the inner locking washer.
