Odometer problem

[DesertRacer2]

After about 40 miles on my new 450X, my odometer stopped working. Anyone have this happen? I took it off today and removed the two screws on the bottom, however, I was unable to separate the two pieces. I lubed what I could and re-installed it, making sure the cable was plenty tight on both ends. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sorry to ask the obvious. Was the knob that is used to reset it, pushed all the way in?

Yep! Had the same odometer on my XR650R, so I am pretty familiar with it ?

You've possibly chewed out the drive gear on the hub that drives the cable to your speedo. As a quick check you could remove the cable and spin the front wheel and see if it turns although this won't be conclusive as you won't be spinning it as quick as when your're riding. If this is the case I would replace it with one of the Trail Tech units as these are a magnetic pickup. Don't know why in this day and age they didn't install this type of unit originally because the speedo itself is quite good having all the functions you need. I know on my model which is an 06 you can't buy the plastic gear (in Australia) so you have to buy the whole housing which is about $100. Ultimately a waste of money as it will go again.

Just as a matter of interest as I have just ordered the Trail Tech voyager which has the magnetic pickup, are you guys able to buy just the plastic gear for an 06 in the US. In Australia it is only sold as a complete unit of gear and housing.
