Help - Speedo!
Hi All,
Since removing the needle and replacing the dial it seems to be reading under. i.e. reads 110KPH when should be reading 130KPH. I have confirmed this using both a road test and comparing RPM to indicated speed.
Is there a correct way to remove and refit the speedo needle or can the tension be adjusted on the spring to which the needle attaches? Idiots guide of how to if possible!
Does anyone know someone reputable in the Southampton area able to carry this out if not a DIY job?
All help gratefully received...
