Yup, easy fix, I did it too... no more bouncy speedo!

Did it. Wow, much easier than I expected!

Thats the thing about this bike.. there are some niggles, but most of them are really easy to work on because the bike is simple. Its also mildly fun to fix! Enjoy that satisfaction of knowing it was done right!

The knurled nut at the wheel was a bit loose, and I found that the last 1" or so of the cable seemed a bit dry (not the part that goes into the drive, but the cable itself). I don't know whether it dried out because the nut was loose, or if whoever lubed it at the factory didn't quite get to the end of the cable.

The toughest part was getting the cable to re-enter the speedometer drive square and even this wasn't difficult.

Try rotating the wheel while you're pushing the end in. Of course, you have to get the front wheel off the ground first.

Make greasing the speedo cable something you do at every oil change.  If it was leaking grease at the wheel fitting you'd see it all over the area.  I find that fitting comes loose quite easily so I give mine a good turn with a pair of pliers.

  The first bolts to come loose on mine were the two bolts that secure the headstock lock. A little lock-tite and no more problem.
