speedometer cable location?

Postby Dick_ocho » Sun Oct 21, 2012 9:58 pm

Can anyone tell me where the speedometer cable is located on a 1982 honda cb 650? I just bought on and it didnt come with one and I don't know where it goes for when i buy one?

There should be a gear apparatus attached to the left side of the front wheel at the hub. One end of the cable goes in there and is held in place by a screw. Other end of the cable screws into the bottom side of the speedometer. It will be obvious which end goes where.

Welcome here! :D

Besides the already correctly stated fixing at both ends, there may be a small clamp at the bottom at the front brake caliper.
There should be also a plastic "eye" at the rear left of the front fender to guide the cable through.

I think the '82 had a clip instead of a screw that held the cable to the gear on the wheel end. The style with the screw should work too though.
