I can shed some darkness on this issue.
This is what your 'thing' should look like. It's off BuyKaw anyway.
It's called 'SPEEDOMETER,TRIP(MILE)'.
It has two windows, one a resettable trip, the other a non-resettable odo.
The cable listed for your bike is (also from BuyKaw):
Item: 54001A
Part number: 54001-1178
Nomen: CABLE-SPEEDOMETER
Look up the number for a '92 and it will be the 'other' type cable..screw caps on both ends.
The number listed is the 'H' type cable. See the end held in by a screw? That is the 'H' model drive.
Got it?
There are two different cables for the 'E' model. You want the one that is similar to the 'H' model..'cuz '93 and '92 are NOT the same.
Note: You CAN run an 'H' model odo (reset trip only..no BIG odo) on an 'E' series bike (either '92-'93) using the correct 'E' cable. Wibby does (did, has done, has did, whatever). His bike is a '92.
It would be a good idea to verify that your drive end has indeed the screw-cap type connection. Maybe somebody changed something along the line.
For YOUR fun and enjoyment, familiarize yourself with the BuyKaw parts diagrams. Usually the same as RonAyers..but in this case, it would have saved you (and me) the trouble. Oh well...it only took 10-15 minutes. I don't suppose my beer got TOO warm. It's only 30ยบ outside..and that is where my beer is!
Click
HERE! to go the info section, choose 'motorcycle'. Choose your vehicle (year and size is sufficient), select your bike, select 'parts diagrams'.
Bookmark the opening page. Well...I guess so. It USED to be you could not bookmark the actual diagram page..it's a separate application (Empart), so you have to start sort of at the beginning.
Not that the address above IS the beginning of the BuyKaw site but.....never mind. Just click on the 'HERE' part, bookmark that page, find your info.
Whew! I'm tuckered.............and I'm up to 20-25 minutes, too!!
Just checked RonAyers to be sure. They do indeed show both cables (so does BuyKaw) AND they list both numbers, too! BuyKaw only lists the part number applicable for the year.
Crikey! I'm into this over 1/2 an hour now...I'm fadin'...where's my..b....e....
