Anybody using one of these on their NSR?.... there looks to be plenty of room to fit one and its got to be better than sticking numbers on the clock....... I'm thinking of buying one...

Had one on one of mine and it worked fine. Blue is I remember.

fitted it this week... seems to work ok (maybe a bit juddery at low speed...), not checked it for accuracy yet but seems pretty close....

I don't recall Steve's on the MC18 ever being juddery.

Make sure the cable's seated and routed correctly, and also free turning in the sleeve. There's obviously gearing inside the converter, but I don't expect there to be too much, if any slack/play in it, so the drive should be smooth.

Have a look at the speedo sprocket drive. Its a white plastic socket that drives the speedo unit. They often wear and give odd speedo readings.

On some of the vfrs they use a metal one which is harder wearing. I had to change my plastic one as the cable kept spinning inside it? Cool
