...ninja 250s? I was shown in person how to replace my speedo cable, and later picked up a new cable from the dealership. It is an unmarked cable, but the parts guy thinks there's a good chance it's the one I need. This new cable has one forked end (seems to fit on the wheel), and one end that is solid. I can see that the forked end is supposed to go on the wheel, but the other end doesn't fit into the back of my instrument panel. I removed only the windshield and kind of felt around blindly and tried to twist the cable into place. At first I thought that it was definitely the wrong cable, and I tried to put my old cable back on, and it didn't go on either! I can't help but think I'm doing something completely wrong and that there is really a simple solution. I'd rather not have to take the front fairing off, but it will give me a better view of the back of the instrument panel. any tips for me?

simple compare the new and old cable ends to see if they are the same most cables have the part numbers printed in white on them
