Thanks for sharing your process. A tip: you don’t need to remove the 10mm nuts and axle plate, just loosen the 4 nuts and back out the axle. Also, be extra, extra careful not to break any of those studs on the fork, which has happened to many a hopeful mechanic.

One thing I find on all my bikes is that I like to add taller handlebars or a bar riser or both. Sometimes there is just not enough cable length after doing that to run the cables in front of the triple clamps anymore. I have since just automatically routed the throttle cables behind the bars so as to give plenty of cable length and not have a hanging idle or other weird stuff happening when I turn the bars. Looking forward to seeing your Baja videos, I have ridden a bit down there in the past, but not in the last 10 years or so.

Nice work, I've never had speedo cable out.

And thems the breaks.....lots of fun with old school...I run a second clutch cable along side the one being used...quick repair on the trail....only broke 1 cable in my 50 years riding, about 45 years ago. Then I started lubricating every year and never done another one since. Great video. Garth

I never take the axle clamp plate and nuts off my bike. Less chance of loosing them. I would like to try one of those magnetic tool rolls to put parts on. That seems like a good way to keep up with screws and nuts on the road when working on the bike. Nice video.

Great troubleshooting. Always suspect the latest change. I think you can pull the cable out even if it's not broken, but it should be secured and routed correctly so both ends fit in. Maybe it was getting pulled weird and sheared up top? The DR650 clamps look different than the TW200 or DRZ-400 setup. Its interesting to see how many different ways the same task can be accomplished. Good luck with the new cables.

Most bikes you only have to loosen the 10mm nuts, then loosen and remove the axle the axle.
