Installing tach and speedo cable

[kparkfan]

Hey guys just got a new speedo cable and tach cable. im getting ready to install them, but wanted to see if there is anything i need to look out for while installing them. I'd really hate to go and mess them up.

Nope

No, it's really straight forward and as easy as it looks. Just be sure you're routing both correctly but you can sort of unplug one and plug in the other one step at a time for both of those applications.

I find it easier to connect the bottom end first. The bottom end of both cables is a single tab-and-slot arrangement that has to be aligned just right for it to work. The top end of both of them is a square end on the cable that kind of funnels into the back of the gauge. This allows both of them to just slide into place rather easily.

Cool, thanks guys. Just wasnt sure whether or not they needed greased or anything.

On the speedo drive, make sure the index marks are aligned-- up arrow. Might also turn the gauges upside down and let some oil soak into the mech.

A little antisieze on the threads never hurts.Also , careful that the speedo cable doesn't get caught at the steering stops.I had to tie mine against the headlight bracket or when you turn the bars to the left,the cable gets pinched,damages the outer then breaks the inner and kapoot.Cheers,Simon.
