[Jools]

After this weeks rideout the replacements I need include whatever it needs to get my rev counter working again.

I haven't had time to take a look at it yet, but with the symptoms being that one moment the rev counter was at 9K and the next it was on 0 - without me shutting off the throttle - I'd reckon the cable has bust.

Anybody got one?

At this rate my 888 is going to be like Triggers broom

i had this sevaral times on my 600ss --when i took the cable off it wasnt broken--each time i refitted the cable the tacho would work again-- then i realised that the little brass nut that is on the internal drive cable was in the wrong end-- it belongs at the bottom not the top end-- the purpose of the brass nut is that it holds the drive cable up into the clocks end not down into the drive end!!! ---- dont know if 888/851 is the same but might be worth a look before you buy a replacement

Jools,

Might do. Check if yours is actually broken.
