Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Why does my speedometer needle bounce or stop moving? A: A worn inner cable or kinked housing commonly causes a jumping or dead needle, which is why replacing the whole speedometer cable is often the fix.

Q: Does this cable fit every XR250R from 1986 to 2004? A: It is listed for the 1986-2004 XR250R range, though minor running changes across those years mean you should confirm your model before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
