Speedometer Installed-Help Please

[wanta250r]

I finally installed the speedometer setup on my 200x. I used the newer style speedometer head, the bracket was made by a board memeber for me. I am not quite sure where the cable guide mounts up to, can someone tell me where it goes? The cable is off a CB125 or 175 not sure. It is just about the correct length cable. I think the cable should go on the inside of the fork leg not around it like it is now is this correct? Also I don't think it is working right, the speedo reads a lot slower than it should I think. It seems like I am going a lot faster than what it is saying I'm going. And it shows that I've only gone about 6 tenths of a mile and I thought I've putted more miles on it than that since I put it on. Has anyone else had a problem with their's not reading correctly? Do you know what could be wrong? And the last thing is, I have no idea where the wires hook up to. I don't have any instructions to show me, so if someone can tell me where to plug them in that would be great. Thanks.

Is it set up for the 22" or whatever front tire?? The type of cable shouldn't matter and as long as it runs fairly stright without bending and contorting itself around fork legs etc. it should be good. Just use a straight as you can run.

Well I can tell you that your cable is a little short.... make sure you check all your connections anmd that they're in all the way.

I'll see if I can't scan the 200x instructions for you tonight, I finally figgured out how to convert to .pdf haha

PM me your email addy and I'll send em your way ASAP

The speedo drive came off a 200x front hub and tire I found. So it should be the correct drive. I forgot to mention the tire I have on the 200x right now is a
23x8x11, not the 23.5x8x11 that I believe came stock. Do you think that would make much of a difference?

Well, I put the cable on the other side of the fork and now it looks like the cable is longer. And if I reposition the drive gear I could get a little more slack?

Hey John don't worry about the cable guide you already made me one. I just haven't put it on yet, I wasn't quite sure where it mounts up to
