[Tigers] speedometer

[Tony Somebody]

Will is right, I have had to tap on the glass in the past on more than one
Tiger to get the speedo working- stuck needle!!. Memory is shot. Im sorry I
reccomended testing the cable and gear, whic if the trip meter is working,The
gear must be turning the trip meter.

If the odometer works, it can't be the cable.  There's a small chance that
your problem is just that the spedo needle is sticking to the stop.  I have
seen this in both new and reconditioned spedos.  the paint on the needle
gets stickey and sticks the needle to the stop.  Get your Tiger going at 10
MPH or above and give a good tap to the face of the spedo.  It may just
spring to life.  If so, the permanent fix is to open the spedo up and scrape
away the paint on the underside of the needle where it contacts the stop.  A
more modern alternative to this is to slide a small amount of Teflon tubing
over the stop.

Good luck..

My odometer works although I do not know if it's accurate, but the
speedometer
does not work.

Is that typically a cable issue or do I need to find a speedometer repair
shop?
