Broken Brand-New Speedo Angle Drive
So, installed a new angle drive to fix my original that was leaking. Went for a drive out to the desert, doing the "Pines to Palms" highway, and on the way there my speedo stopped working. Also meaning my odometer stopped working too, which I use to gauge when its time to fuel.
Huh.
Well, no biggy, I can drive without a speedo. I drove another 140 miles and arrived in Thermal, CA.
So I removed the angle drive and spun the cable, and the speedo jumped. So, the cable isn't broken.
My wear patterns and the prior images support that the thrust washer is (> should be YMMV!
As guzzimeister says, that washer is in there, so don't let it slip away!
[EDIT: Note that there as second thrust washer below the "Spindle/pinion drive" inside the gearbox NOT PICTURED HERE.]
Dear me, and I thought the V11 sidestand was a Rube Goldberg apparatus!
