I've lubricated the cables (sparingly!) in the past, without much success, so I'm willing to replace th; /html/triumphs/2014-09/msg00102.html (8,295 bytes)

Eliminated the service counter would eliminate one variable. Have you tried turning the cable with a drill to see if it bounces that way?

If the cable was in such bad shape that it was winding up and unwinding for no reason, I think you would have noticed while lubricating it. But the; /html/triumphs/2014-09/msg00110.html (8,912 bytes)

Re: [TR] Speedometer Cable (score: 1): Author: Jeff Scarbrough <fishplate@gmail.com>; Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 12:52:09 -0500; For the record - I replaced just the upper cable, and that fixed the problem. Speedometer is rock-steady now. The upper cable, even in stock length, seems to have a lot of twist in it, as if it's an; /html/triumphs/2014-11/msg00013.html (8,583 bytes)

It should be no more than 3/8". If more, you need to trim it. Other; /html/triumphs/2014-11/msg00015.html (8,561 bytes)
