    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Speedo only reads up to 10 MPH 1977 GS400

I took my GS400 for a little test ride and I noticed that the speedo only went up to 10 mph. The tach and other gauges seemed to work fine. Does anyone have any advice besides taking off the speedo and greasing it and lubing the cable?
 
The issue is in the drive on the wheel, the cable or the speedo.
Sounds like you ruled out the cable.

Easy way to test is unhook the cable from the wheel, and use a drill to see if that tells you anything.

Check like halfway this vid.

 
You did not mention anything about it working properly before, or work done like new tires that could have caused the drive to be reinstalled.
That could be done wrong, bending the tabs on the speedo drive unit which would cause it to fail.
 
I like the tip, Rijko-Thanks! I've got a taco that's slow responding, and a new cable didn't improve its' response. Live & Learn as they say...
