[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 16670, member: 4034"] I broke speedo inners (on another make of bike) on a regular basis until I discovered that at some point the cable assembly, inner and outer, had been made a little longer to ease installation. The OE cable assemblies were OK if the cable run was absolutely perfect, but j-u-s-t too short if it wasn't. So it would be worth taking the outer off, fitting a new inner, and checking the stick-out. I'd just been removing the broken bits, and putting a new inner in the old outer. It fitted with no apparent difficulty, but with a new inner longer than my OE outer, it was being buckled. When I bought a new outer, which made the stick-out correct, the problem stopped. [/QUOTE]
