Did you lube up the Speedo drive? Mine was darn near bone dry when I pulled it apart. Also, make sure the flat washer with the dogs on it between the Speedo drive and wheel is seated properly, I've run mine with it inserted upside down and it worked, until it didn't.1980 XS1100G

Use a silicone lube next time! WD40 will dry out quickly, and the problem will return.Ray Matteis

Later down the road, you may find that lubing the cable and drive unit doesn't help anymore. That would be the time for surgery on the speedometer itself, in which it also would like some type of lubricant.2H7 (79) owned since '89
