Tacho cable
« on: October 01, 2018, 11:45:26 AM »
Hi All , wonder if anyone knows the correct length for the tacho cable on a 400 four . I have tried to root it correctly as per the assembly manual but it seems too short and will only allow me to root behind the bottom fork yoke and not in front as per manual , think the pervious owner might have fitted a non standard cable .
thanks for any help .

The closest I can measure it to on the bike is 570mm from end of fitment to end of fitment Chris.

But, it goes behind the bottom yoke, not in front.
Edit...i think, I will have another look in a minute 😀😀😀

Thanks Julie , ill check the length later , I've had a look at the diagram and it looks like the cable goes in front and below the  bottom yoke , not the clearest view .
