terje_m Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 This might have been covered before, but my speedo starts at 20 km/h. It never returns to zero, and I always have to substract 20 to tell my speed. Not a big deal, just annoying in the long run. Any ideas? I replaced the cable with a new from TLM (angle drive replacement) but no difference (apart from a bit less wobbling. Now it only wobbles at speeds above the speed limit... ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I assume you have a stock speedometer ? If so , you need to find a speedo repair facility to recalibrate/repair it . Probably not cheap but you will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terje_m Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Stock yes. No quick fix then. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Just because its not returning to zero doesnt mean that speeds above what it rests at are all +20 klm/hour. It may be reading as acuratly as is usual for a stock speedo but just no zeroing. Does it start to read as soon as you begin moving, or do you need to get to approx 20kph berfor the needle moves? If the latter is the case then its a simple zeroing issue and all speeds above 20kph will read fine. Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Roy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Some of the Guzzi speedos have a mechanical stop at around 10, look closely at the face, does it have a small pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terje_m Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have tested by driving behind my wife. Pretty sure it shows approx 20km/h to much all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi_Roy Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If you can get the bezzel off without breaking it remove the needle and set it back 20. The needles are on a taper, it's best to remove them with a pointer puller but if it's not too tight a screwdriver on each side levering against the case.

tomsmith Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 You have stock speedometer and i think there is some issue in speedo wire when you give race they did start at 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
