Hi all,
I was cruising down Rte 93 in northern  New Hampshire the other night, I hit 80 mph and I felt a sudden power loss for a second and then it was fine, during the same moment  I noticed my speedometer dropped to 0 and stayed there.

A guy I met in Hampton with a 99 Drifter said if I unscrew the speedo cable at the wheel and the inner part comes out it is broken and I can get one for $20.00 from my kawi dealer.
I haven't tried yet as it is raining and I am exhausted from my trip, so I figured I would ask on here before I go wrench on the bike.
I see in the manual whee it connects under the tank dash panel but I haven't taken anything apart.
Any tips?
Should I start at the wheel and investigate that cable to see if it is in fact busted?
Thanks for any info.

I am happy to say that during my week away and over 1k miles of driving the bike the speedo was the only problem I had with the bike, I was very happy about that after all the changes I have made and all the things I worked on before I left I half expected trouble and none ever came.
I love this bike.
