Speedo drive tab washer threw in the towel ...

My bike has gone more miles without a speedometer cable than it has with one, so when the speedometer started showing 0mph at speed recently, I chalked it up to the cable. I ordered a new cable; but when I took the old one off - it appeared to be serviceable still. Curious, but I figured I'd take a closer look when I tore it all apart to clean up the drive and put the new cable in anyway.

Today was that day. And when I pulled the drive off the axle to clean & inspect it ... I got a better understanding of why the old cable still looked ok: the tab on the drive washer was snapped off. Well that's a nuisance ...

I'm hoping this @ BevelHeaven will fit. Anyone have another resource, just in case?

Could be wrong but may have to replace entire unit. This Ducati part is actually reasonable and about $65 US.

Make sure your speedo and cable is well lubed

glad to hear. I love being incorrect on stuff like this when a better solution presents itself.
