I did that with the cable but yes it may have popped out and yes the inner speedo was on the new wheel ,I'm going to pull it apart again and check things out . This just baffles me because if you put it back together like it came apart I just don't know what can go wrong I've had the front wheel off a few times before and never had any problems .   Thanks you guys I'll let you know when I find the problem.

You replaced the complete wheel assy? Is the sleeve that drives the speedo gear in the wheel?

It's possible the cable (center part) came out of the speedo, up at the dash.  Take the cable off at the wheel, and push on the center cable and turn it to see if it "pops" into place (has a square end that has to fit into the drive up at the speedo).  Turn it by hand to see if the speedo needle moves.  If you can get it to turn, then it is engaged up at the speedo.   Then put it back on at the wheel, and spin the wheel again, see if it moves the needle.

Ok I bought a new front rim because Toledo, Ohio has such fine streets with no pot holes ( yeah right ) Anyhow I switched the rim and it all went back together like all of the other times before but my speedo doesn't work ... Now I know their isn't much to this so that's what's throwing me off ... I took the wheel off again and  I'll tell you what I did and checked and maybe you can tell me if I missed something simple so here's what I did ... Removed the upper dash cluster and disconnected the cable at the wheel then checked the cable to make sure I wasn't broke , then put the cable back in the dash and put that back together that was fine ... Next removed the wheel and checked the inside of the speedo case that was ok so I put the wheel back on lining up the notch in the speedo case with the two notches on the fork leg then spun the wheel so the cable end would drop in when it lined up inside and then tightened the cable on the bottom ... Now I'm thinking its fixed so I took it off the lift and rode it and still not working this isn't rocket science but I'm missing something and it's driving me nuts so any ideas or maybe someone had this problem before I would appreciate any input .       Thanks , Rick
