Title: Odometer help?
Post by: sauldgold on December 18, 2016, 02:59:22 PM
Hi all,

I recently bought a t3 speedometer to replace the 100mm one on my G5.  I have been attempting to match the mileage of the "new" speedometer to the actual mileage of the bike.

As you may have surmised by now, I have not achieved great success in this endeavor. I would equate it to a chimpanzee trying to translate greek into chinese; mildly entertaining to watch at first, but ultimately hopelessly frustrating for all involved, especially the chimp, aka me  :violent1:

I've searched the site and viewed several youtube videos, but I'm just not getting anywhere. Perhaps one of you kind gents could point me towards a helpful tutorial?

Hook up the cable to a drill.

I thought about that but they were 30k apart so I thought it would be faster to just pop out the odometer and adjust it manually.  woops.  now its like a cylindrical rubik's cube I can't make sense out of

Hook up the cable to a drill.
Even if he spun the input at the equivalent of 200kph, it'd still take 150 hrs on the drill to put on 30,000 k

It may not be doable. When I replaced the defunct speedometer on my old Triumph, I just stuck a label on the glass with the original mileage to be added.
