Speedometer messed up?

[Rianna]

Pedro, this is what the speedometer stuff looks like now. I could not get a pic to come out clear of the cable end, but I did try!

[Rianna]

Here's some more.

[Rianna]

And here's the rest. Sorry they didn't come out too good.

[pedro]

Did you find any metal shavings in the speedo parts?

[Rianna]

No...just a bunch of grease collected on the bottom part under that gear. I guess I could wipe it out and make sure there's none down in there, though.

[pedro]

no, it's supposed to be greased up.  do you recall if your speedometer was working when you disassembled your scoot?  If it was, then I'd say the speedo is probably fine.

[Rianna]

Yeah, it was working. I checked and it's only grease down in there. No metal flakes. And that little gear bar thing is spinning.

Thanks, pedro. You scared me for a second there. I didn't want another thing I had to replace. 

[pedro]

I think it's fine then.  Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you.

[Rianna]

Nah, you're good, pedro. I appreciate the help. Thank you.

Gee Riannia, we don't want you to become a scooter hypochondriac!

[Rianna]

Nah, not a chance. I do check everything you suggest, though.

[Rianna]

Hey did y'all get that storm your way? I think it just left our area.

[pedro]

It was pretty nasty over here.  A couple of confirmed tornadoes in Richmond and Henrico.   

[oswaldters]

Good thing!

All these issues are plausible problems and you are wise to check them out to be sure - especially while you have things apart.  There's a lot of people with great knowledge on the forum so I'm learning a lot from listening in.

Seems like that rotor is the likely culprit - hopefully you'll be able to resolve that soon.

We've had tornado watches last night and today, but so far just rain - heavy at times.
