Post by schroncc »

My girlfriend was riding her pink buddy 125 down the road today and her speedometer now only reads 0 mph and her miles are not changing. Anyone know whats going on?

First guess is to check the cable. I'm wondering if the sensor is at the front or rear wheel though. Anybody?

The speedometer cable goes to the front wheel on the right side, I believe.

Yes you were. There was a cable that goes from the front wheel up to the back of the speedometer. Some how it unscrewed from the back of the speedometer. Took me a while to figure out how to reattach it, but thats because Im not to bright.
