Also anyone had luck solving this Speedo skipping issue? I don't want my clock dial to break as I know some have.


I took my speedo head apart as far as it would allow as it's not designed for hammertewer servicing. Then ran some oil in, moved it around and drained it out. The object of that was to lube the bearing hidden inside. It worked for a while but the skipping returned. If not solved then the needle fatigues and breaks off eventually. Not sure there is a solution other than a speedo service (careful when you Google that!)
The cable can be checked. Usually it's inner fails at the low point where water has got in and settled causing rusting.

& that's what I've found too, along with a snapped cable, just past the squared end, which would engage and disengage the frayed ends temporarily, causing erratic speedo. The cable would turn when rotated by hand. RD250 & XS850.

Not needed Lee. Tank just pivots to side still connected. Just larfin at Heinz instructions that fail to mention to get tank off..need to remove side fairings, top fairings, seat ...and then tank...at which point yer warmed up boike would be not very warm.

Also no mention of removing hairbox for adjustment.

Given up searching for the headlight protectors ughhhh.

Next item, the ecumenical juans enjun bars.

If I have em in correct place, looks like they loop through the side fairing. Which could be annoying when it's tinker time as side fairing would be flapping around on the bar unless bar is removed.

Also means I would need longer enjun mount bolts.

Who thinks it is worth the bother?

Currently held in place with cable ties.

Looks like the radiator bracket might be in the way of one of the crash bar bolts too ?  Looks like they'd do a brill job at protecting the bike though. Shouldn't be much of a problem once fitted as yer tinkerin'/fettlin' might be a rare occasion.

  Nah thas the very reason i opted fer Renntec when i bought crash bars as although i looked at the same ones as in yer pitcher above and thought better of it. There are  a few crash bar options out there atm so oi'd urge He to reconsider and buy summit more user friendly.

Not cheap though but i loike the look of dem and ya can stihl remove soide panels.
