Author Message   Jumbo_petite Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 10:23 am:        I just bought a 95 S2 and could not reset the trip odometer. Is this a common failure or am I just too stupid to own a S2. Any and all help appreciated.   Bluzm2 Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 07:26 pm:        The knob on the dash is connected to a cable that goes to the bottom of the speedo. The cable may have broken or come out of the speedo or the knob. You did turn the knob clockwise right? You need to keep turning it until the odo reads all zeros. Old school baby! Check out the Old School S2 section and make sure you get your VIN on the S2 master list...

Feels like the cable is seized in the housing   Court Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 09:14 pm:        >>>>Any and all help appreciated. What you need is a small woman. Many of us had to marry one to reset our odometers. It's likely never been reset (there are not enough small women to go around). Shoot it with some possum piss . . let it sit for a day or two then . . . when you find the small woman who can reach in there . . . tell her to get gentle . . . Old school indeed . . welcome!   F_skinner Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 09:24 pm:        Mike, there is a cotter pin (very small one in there) it holds the cable to the drive indicator. It will be best to take the fairing off so you can get to everything and gently remove the collar of the speedo cable. My guess is you may just need to oil it up a bit but also make sure the cotter pin did not break or rust up.

I am really digging the "new" S2 Court I haven't had much luck finding a small woman that likes a Jumbo Petite man. Mike   Court Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 10:13 pm:        >>>>Court I haven't had much luck finding a small woman that likes a Jumbo Petite man. I have good news. There are few folks less attractive than Frank, Brad and I . . . and I'm talking about the REAL Brad . . . not those cheesy "wanna be Brad" cardboard cutouts . . . and we all managed to find women far better than we deserved. There's hope. But . . first fix the S2.   Jumbo_petite Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 10:26 pm:        right now riding S2 weather is too good to fix must ride. The S2s are some very special motorcycles. I am one very fortunate person to have been the one that bought my specific bike.   Al_lighton Posted on Friday, March 25, 2011 - 09:46 am:        I have a BUNCH of these cables and knobs if you need one. Al   Jumbo_petite Posted on Friday, March 25, 2011 - 10:06 am:        Thanks Al might just order one for a spare.
