NC35 odometer stuck, speedo works
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2017 8:48 pm
Hi Everyone, first post, and a bit of a long one.
Anyway, my wife's NC35 has a problem with the odometer; it's stuck at 17999. The white "tenths" dial goes round, but it doesn't trip the others to change to 18000.
I've had the clocks apart and fiddled with the dials, but to no avail. They work in reverse, oddly, and when I turn the worm/cog bit by hand there is a click as the tenths dial passes 9, but the miles stay put.
It doesn't look possible to get the dials out without wrecking the assembly. Any ideas gratefully received.
Ebay has shown up a replacement set at a ridiculous £249. Failing that, the CBR400 panel looks identical, and is much cheaper. Does anyone know if I could just take the speedo bit from a CBR and fit that into the RVF? I have a converter gear fitted to the end of the speedo cable, so restrictions shouldn't matter
I can't really just live with it, as sadly the bike is going up for sale. Thanks in advance.
