Guest trispeed Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hello all, anyone have experience with an 'updated' speedo cable for the V11 Sport series? I have a 2004 sport and the cable broke at the transmission end inside the 45 degree( approx.) angled fitting. Moto Int'l sent a new cable and says it's update, though it has a 15 degree bend and only fits under the bottom of the right side throttle body with significant force. Can you guys check under the rubber boot at the transmission end and tell me what angle fitting you have and if the cable is rubbing against the throttle body mounting hardware?? Thanks!

Thanks! 81791[/snapback] I have seen too many of these cable fail, all in the same place. Its too much bend. On PDI I use a tubing bender and straighten the curve at the bottom so that the cable now fits above the bracket that goes between the throttle bodies. MAKE CERTAIN it does not interfere with the throttle rod. A dash of oil down the cable cant hurt either. Since adopting this practice we have had no failures of speedo cables.
