Title: Speedo gear lubrication - what to use?
Post by: Erny on April 28, 2019, 07:51:07 PM: Hand on my speedo gauge is shaking in some speeds, wants to clean and then re-lubricate speedo gear on the front wheel.
But wondering what lubricant shall I use? Thinking on some grease that is verz soft anf does not turn into liquid...

Any recommendations?

Note: the same I want to do on my CB750K K7

Any damage or slight resistance swap it for a new one.

Wemoto do a nice range in cables.
I had to replace my tacho cable. And one of theirs fitted well .And looked well made.
