Speedo/Tach cables ... same thing?

fasterdammit · **Posted:** Mon Jun 16, 2014 8:39 pm

Can anyone confirm or deny whether the speedometer and tachometer cables are the same item? I found the tachometer cable on Stein-Dinse, and it says that part number is a replacement for #037038710, but when I search that number on Ducati Omaha's P/N lookup, it comes up as a speedo cable. :huh:

Any truth to that? And if not ... anyone have a P/N for the 750 tach cable? :mrgreen:

faster just think. How can a cable just connecting to the cylinder head be as long as the one going down to the speedometer drive ?
There`s a number mix up. I noticed that long time ago.
If ordering one be sure to measure the speedometer cable and its core before buying one as some aftermarket parts are shorter. If it`s too short steering will pull on the complete instrument panel breaking the vibration dampers.

That's why I thought it was rather odd, myself. (I also knew I could count on you to reply!)

But I figured I'd ask the question anyway. I almost ordered one regardless, thinking that at some point I'd need another speedo cable!

I also spoke w/ Ducati Omaha, and they gave me the P/N for a '91 SS 750's tach cable : 067038720 ($41.14 USD), although I don't know if that will work for the Paso either.

Getting tough, tracking down part numbers. Anybody have the old microfiche parts guides? :beer:

the error is in the original Ducati parts catalogue as you can see. They name #27 rev. counter cable and #26 speedometer cable while it`s the other way around.
It looks like the item description and the according part number are correct but position number isn`t.

#067038720 might fit but it`s 10cm longer (640mm vs 540mm) which could cause a bend and higher wear.

just fyi #0795.38.627 is 2" longer then the original P750 cable (850mm vs 800mm). The one of the 907ie is 875mm btw.

I wonder if noone is actually checking at their local Ducati shop ...

the parts catalogue can be downloaded on this site and finding a part in it can`t be such a challenge

Now why I hadn't I seen that before now? sigh ...
