What could be the problem? Already checked the cable I think its OK but not sure about the white removable Gear inside and the stationary one inside also. Any inputs? TIA

is it on the 0kph reading or 180+kph?

if on 0kph, maybe defective gear (located on the mags) or defective cable or the gear is not properly installed.

You can easily spot if its not working if the shape of the tip of the speedometer cable in not "square" and also check the gear box on the side of the mags..if the teeth of the gear is worn out..or "Pudpod"...so you'l know what to replace.

I really cant tell right now the problem...but if i rotate the other end of the speedometer cable I can see the Speedometer needle moves but when i put it back it doesnt work..I suspect its inside the gearbox...

to test if the gear box is working, remove the speed cable..and spin the front wheel and see if the white part is rotating...you can simply ensure that by inserting tooth pick..un may flat end portion to the gearbox..see if it rotates..Just be careful.......ON my case before its not the cable nor the gear box..but on a loosened connection of the speedometer cable to the speedometer panel..inside the headlight cowling..

If the culprit is the speedo cable better replace it with new one, mine broke down for almost 5 years usage got it replaced..... many times i tried to test and connect the old one due to the damn ass mechanic forgot to plug-it in it works for few kilometers then all of a sudden it's stop, next thing i went to suking tindahan got it replaced for a price of 65 php so far so good...The speedo cable that was installed for Mio due to that time no available cable for sniper a little bit long a centimeter but barely unnoticeable ^_^

I think your gear box already worn that's why your speedo not working.
