smiths speedo cable

Symptom: Smiths speedo was bouncing 40kph.   

Fix #1:  removed the speedo cable and inspected the speedo.  Attached a drill and ran it in reverse with a consistent smooth indicator.   The speedo operates correctly.

Crimped speedo  end of cable was damaged and cable did not sit snuggly.   Installed a diy crimp and soldered the end of the cable.

Results: were much better with 10kmh bounce but the repair did not last.  After a few weeks the bounce started tonincrease again.   After removing cable again the fitting was loose and the soldered end was worn.  

Repair #2:  sent the cable to vintage British bikes in Red Deer Alberta.   The cable was shortend 1/2 inch and a new crimped end was installed.

After reinstall and test drive the cable and speedo are as good as new.
