[Ducati] No More Speedo!

[Ronald Betts]

Actuall Harlyn my 95 SP has a little tang that is supposed to limit the 
movenent but as soon as the axle is tightened it stops anyway. I had the 
same thing happen and it turned out to be the drive unit. It had a little 
crack in the housing but nothing serious. Looks can be decieving on these 
things so have a good look at it. You can also detetch the cable from the 
drive unit and chuck the cable end into a drill and give it a spin. If the 
needle moves it's the drive unit if it dont then it's the cable or speedo 
head.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
