I bought a new speedometer cable about a month or two ago and got it installed and went for a ride but the speedometer doesn't work. Does anybody know what could be the problem??

When you replaced the speedo cable did you also install a new keyway inside the speedo adaptor plate? Often this little key will break if you get water in the grease and it freezes or also a good sign that the driveshaft bearing is about ready to go.

I didn't install a keyway but will check it out along with the driveshaft bearing.

my speedo on my ZL600EFI quit today. Messed with the cable but nothing.

Understand the Drive Shaft bearing might be going. How hard is it to change this bearing?
