Hi Guys
How long should the inner / outer of the speedo cable be? I took off an obviously too long one ( apparently Mirage cable) and fitted one that was about 80cm long. This seemed perfect, if a little taught, but i get a loud whining sound when i ride. I have recently had the gauges overhauled by MARCEL ( cb750faces) -super job - but when i ride it whines very loudly at the head end. I put the speedo on a drill, it runs fine, i connected the cable without the speedo connected and it turns fine and doesn't make a noise, but when i put them together it whines.
I wonder if the cable is not seating properly in the gauge, but then i wondered if it was too tight and pulling out or unseating as i ride. Its ok up to about 20mph, then it kicks in.
Want to check i have correct cable length before i start messing with the other components.
cheers
