Speedometer doesn't work - 2001 gz 250

[nivo]

I am thinking about just replacing it, if anyone is selling one let me know please.

But I wanted to ask if anyone else had this issue and what the solution is?

Any help is appreciated.

I researched a bit and it can be the cable or the speedometer it self.

I am definitely not a do it yourself person, but I am willing to give it a shot.

Thanks!!!

You learn by doing. Since it is already not working, what have you got to lose trying to fix it. If you screw it up, you will still be looking for a replacement. Just a thought. Replacing components on the bike or taking into a shop can empty out your wallet pretty quickly vs. trying to repair it yourself. You also get great satisfaction if you fixed it yourself. Just sayin'.

Thanks. I can try to fix it my self .. but not sure how yet.

Doing some research at the moment.

But you are right .. it's already broken lol

First thing .... unscrew the speedo cable at the front wheel, and check if the cable's broken, by trying to pull the broken part out. That's probably what's wrong. It was, when my speedo stopped working. It's a simple enough job to replace it, if that's the problem. Try this, then let us know how that went.
