My DR finally decided to break something.  I noticed that the speedometer is dead.  The speedometer cable is broken off near the bottom (inside cable).

Is it worthwhile having a new inner made up, or is it better buying a new complete cable unit?

What does it cost more or less?

Any cons to replacing just the inner?

I never serviced my speedo cable, is it something I should have done, re-greasing the cable from time to time?  I lube my clutch and choke cable, but did nothing with this one.  Looking at the break I think corrosion played a role in the breakage.

I guess when I refit a new one I should make sure that the speedo unit turns freely?

Anybody with an unused one who fitted a Vapor ?
