    The speedometer is directly driven by the cable. The odometer is geared off the speedometer drive. Odds are you have bad/worn gears.

    Here's what's in there:

    [​IMG]

    B, C, D and E are the odometer drive; something's worn out or stripped. "A" is the main drive drum, it's ok.

    (this unit had its trip odo removed, it would attach at the blue arrow, and be driven by B, C and E.)

    Easier to replace than repair unless your instrument is in REALLY good shape.

    My odometer is at 56k and has been since I bought the bike 6, 7? years ago. I didn't know at the time of purchase, and theoretically the bike shouldn't have passed the certification. Its my first (and only bike) and sadly its in Toronto and I'm in Shanghai. Oh well we'll get together again sometime.

    Thanks for the photograph! and the thread on rebuilding the tach, odometer, speedometer.
