Was out for a ride last week when after leaving a bouncy corner noticed that despite feeling like I was moving, the speedo told me otherwise. Turned (out after stopping to see if anything else had been damaged) that the speedo cable had snapped about 100mm from the hub attachment.

Now the hunt is on for a wrecker or dealer who can supply a 720mm long replacement cable.
