Hi!I am new at this site,but I´ve been the happy owner of a 906 for more than five years now,and I´ve got a problem I hope you can help me to work out.Last year,when time came to pass the itv (obligatory inspection in Spain) the inspector realized my front wheel was not an homologated one (it actually was a CBR 900 unit),so I borrowed a friend of mine´s 750 set.But I failed to tighten the speedo wire,so itbroke.The thing is...do you know the reference number of that piece,an if it is the same on more recent ducati models,like the monster or so?
Thank you for your help
Jaime.

I heard to say that it's the same installed on more recent aprilia 125 rs, but you must be sure that's clockwise (to be installed on the left side of the wheel) and that the ratio mark imrpessed on the alloy part matches (this might be 11/21, but I'm not sure, you should see on your one)

If it is just the speedometer cable (the one that goes from the geared housing on the axle by the wheel and runs up to the instrument cluster), they may still be available through Ducati. If it is the same as a Paso 750, the part number is 037038710. Your local Ducati dealer will know any superceded part numbers.

If just the internal cable broke and the housing is fine, you can sometimes cut down another cable to the proper length. There may be some places that can make the internal cable for you. The cut end will have to be squared off to run the gear.

There's always eBay, also. I've seen a few, from time to time, and they usually go fairly cheap, as there is little demand for them.

I wish you luck!

Most any auto parts store sell a universal kit to replace inner cable, less than $10 US. Have used on 907 and last week on my El Camino.
