speedometer needle (but not odometer!) stuck

[mr. softie]

Your cable may be broken and still turning the upper end when you push the bike! Take the whole cable off the bike, and pull the inner cable out of the outer sleeve from the bottom. ( Have a rag handy that sucker can be dirty and greasy). You will see in an instant whether or not it is broken. If it is not broken this is a good time to clean and re lubricate it. If the cable is good I would also check the speedometer drive at the wheel hub to make sure everything is copacetic there before I looked into the Speedometer unit itself.

My cable broke near the bottom (wheel) end, but still turned a little when I disconnected the upper end from the speedometer and rode the bike. I brazed the cable back together but the repair only lasted about 50 miles, so I sprung for a new cable.
