Noisy Speeder Cable

Forgot to mention its a 75 series cruiser ute!

Gday
Just disconnect the cable and lube the inner. It is possibly dry.

Yep same as my lux need to be lubricated on a regular basis or eventually will sh@t itself and you will be up for a complete new cable. Regards steve M

yep I had the same in my lux and I poured inox penetrating oil down it from the speedo end. so far so good.

You 'should' be able to pull the inner cable out, wipe it liberally with graphite and put it back in. The graphite would be better as it is dry and won't attract dirt.

As someone who used to repair speedos for a living take this advice..

You can lube with grease, but only the bottom third of the cable.

If you have greasy hands when you're finished, just wipe the top of the cable with them and that'll fix you up.

It is possible that the noise is from your speedometer if it is wearing.. take care.

Once had a guy who very cleverly made an adaptor to connect to his speedo cable that enabled him to connect a grease gun to it.

Just kept pumping that grease in until it filled the head and wrecked his speedo.
