Good To Know

Q: Will this cable plug straight into my stock speedometer and wheel drive? A: Yes, it is built with the correct end fittings to connect to the stock speedometer and front wheel drive unit on the listed XR500R models. Confirm your model year and cable routing before installation.

Q: How do I know if my speedometer cable needs replacing? A: Common signs include a bouncing or frozen speedo needle, a snapped cable, or visible damage to the outer sheath. If the needle no longer moves at all, the inner cable has likely broken.
