  • stupid question

    This sounds like a stupid question, but the little things always mess me up. Is the speedometer cable for my 1979 Yamaha xs1100sf a standard cable? Is it the "one size fits all" (1978,79,80,81), or its it particular to the SF model? I have also seen some mention of a 2:00 position, but have no idea where it applies. Any help would be nice. Thanks!

    The cable assemblies are different but I don't remember if the inner cable itself is the same:

    34X-83550-01-00

    XS1100 Special Speedometer Cable Assembly
    10M-83550-00-00

      I'm pretty sure standard and Special cables are different, inside and out.

        They are different. The special cables have a loop on the drive end. The standard cables do not. I think the special cables are also longer.
