250yam Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I want to remove the speedo from my TY250, it hasn't been working for a while anyway by the looks of things. I've sourced a new (2nd hand) brake plate because the casting had broke on mine where the torque arm bolts on. But, the cable's snapped off, and the speedo drive gear/worm drive are seized solid, and I just can't see how to get the cable out? I planned to remove it completely and fill the hole up, but even on the old brake plate which isn't seized I can't work it out with all the gubbins removed. Any advice?

yamty175 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 On my TY(175) the speedo cable is held in by a spring clip, then the cable just pulls out. The drive is held on by a circlip (snap ring) in the centre of the hub. It may be greasy/dirty in there so may be hard to see. Dunno if the 250 is the same, hope this helps. Jon.

250yam Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well, sounds similar, the drive gear should be turned by a tabbed washer that sits on the top over two flats on the shaft part of the drive gear. All held on by a circlip, got that off, and the washer, but the actual gear is stuck solid, can't shift it a bit. Think I'm just gona leave the drive gear in there without the washer, I've got what I can out out of the speedo cable hole, so I'll just fill that with chemical metal or similar.
