Hello people I'm back!

[djson280]

So I've got a little issue, the speedo has stopped working.

Is it a cable, or electronic?

If cable, i guess it has snapped.

if electronic any ideas, how to check it. is there a piece that needs changing?

The other thing, is that i have noticed it seems to be getting harder to kick start.

it used to kick 3 times and start, and if it was warm, kick 1st time.

Now i am having to kick it 10 times the other day, before it stated.

I guess it's like my dog, doesn't like being kicked.

But i'm not sure.

So i'll look back later.

Thanks

Welcome back. Speedo on what?

[djson280]

Grand Dink 150cc 2005.

I remembered after i left for home that I probably didn't say what.

Sorry.

Internet pictures show the speedo is cable driven from the left side of front wheel.

As far as hard start, when is the last time you checked/set the valves? Spark plug? Air filter?

[djson280]

I replaced the air filter, a few weeks ago. Though when I bought it, he assured me, it was regularly serviced, and had just been done.

I'll have to take it to the garage to check the valves.

Probably time for a full service.

Thanks

Yeah, it would be the rare dealer who checked the valve lash while doing a "regular service".

What is the mileage on this scooter ?

[djson280]

Well it says 25,000 km, but im not really sure that is true.

[djson280]

Forgot to say, that I had a starting problem, which turned out to be the battery, so I got a new battery.

If I start with the button, it seems to start fine.

It was only taking 2 or 3 kicks to start.

However it is taking loads now, for some reason, it is not cold, it is around 18 to 20C now and only going to get hotter.
