Hi all , have looked through the old posts but can’t find a problem similar to mine which is why I’m asking your help
Speedo stopped working on a 1981 Cx500b
I checked both connection and they were fine
Cable turns by hand all in one piece from top to bottom so I’ve ruled out broken cable
I put cordless drill and flat screwdriver into bottom of cable where cable joins the wheel with cable attached to speedo and it works (30 mph) so cable and speedo working - also mileage goes up
Turned front wheel and the flat blade connected to front wheel turns with the wheel also !
tried to eliminate everything, even turned wheel whilst pushing cable into connector to get the connection married up to each other
What am I missing?
speedo did work when I bought bike a few weeks ago
Many thanks
