How do you fit a speedo cable on a Honda vfr 750 f?

Answer 1

Remove the lower left-side fairing panel, exposing the sprocket cover and the speedo drive/ differential. Turn the wheel to the right, allowing access to the underside of the speedo. The job can be done with the bike on it's side-stand if preferred.Remove the two Allen bolts at the top and bottom of the diff and carefully pull this out and away. Undo and remove the Philips screw that holds the cable outer in and pull the two apart.Go to the other end, feeling your way up the cable outer until you locate the rounded end-nut under the speedo. Undo this carefully, using large pliers if necessary. If you can get to this using this method, it saves having to remove the screen, upper panel and clocks. Before installing the new cable, separate the inner from the outer and lube up with General-Purpose Grease, wiping away any excess.Once free, the whole old cable can be pulled out in the direction of the front of the bike.There may be a couple of cable-ties that need to be cut and don't forget to tie the end of the new cable loosely to the old to allow it to follow the same path. This goes up and over the radiator and through the fairing bracket but is easy enough to follow. Do not force or pull, before investigating any potential snagging. After you have fed the cable through, connect at the speedo and tighten. The diff needs to be connected to the bottom end of the cable, but before doing this, ensure that any old grease is cleaned out and replaced with new. Push onto the cable and replace the Philips screw. Relocate the diff into the drive socket behind the sprocket cover and replace and tighten the two Allen bolts. Secure the cable to the frame spar with a couple of cable-ties and replace the fairing panel, checking for snags. I hope this is helpful.Dave C.
