    Speedo (and tacho) needles mostly crack because of vibrations. The rubber the clocks are mounted in deteriorates, which leaves the clocks resting on the metal bracket. With time, due to vibrations, the bracket cuts its way through the clock body.

    Hi Chaos, that is not the case. The rubber are in good condition and in place.

    Hi guys, thnx for your reactions. I have already fixxed the needle and cleaned and oiled the cable. The internal gear of the meter wasn't dried out and contained still grease. I guess the only thing left is that the cable is to old and has probably to much flex so i will replace that.

    Other thing that came to my mind is that i have lowered the forcplates so i coould place the clipons on top of the upper plate for a better sitting position. Now the cable has to bend a bit more and is causing the flutter!? First i replace it for a new one.

    Cheers Richard.

    The speedometer of my GSXR 750(1990) had a broken needle. I made that but the reason why that happened was because between 80-120 km/h the needle was shaken like crazy. Does anyone recognize this and knows a fix for that? TIA, Cheers Richard.

    I wanted to buy cam chain guides. CMSnl is a site where you can purchase genuine parts but these are no longer for sale there. Do you guys know another site where one can buy these parts?

    Cheers Richard.

    I doubt you'll fine a video specific to your bike but a 'generic one', for a 4 cylinder, centre run STANDARD chain will be enough. A Hyvo chain as fitted to Blandits is slightly different (more fiddly) so best not look at that! It's a relatively simple procedure - I had to do one whilst on a dyno trying to set up some carbs, it took about an hour and a half and a few pairs of hands - two pairs is minimum as peening over the rivet link is a pain on your own!

    Thnx for the info, that makes searching for the right video a lot easier.

    Try without the clutch. I find shifts are smoother and much faster. It's how they are designed to work. 

    It's not a syncro box like a car

    I will try it.
