Mileage adjustment

[jamie125]

Can the mileage be adjusted on the nc30 clocks, as I have a set I want to put on but the mileage isnt correct?

Thanks Jamie.

Yes they can, ive zero'd loads of sets of NC30 clocks but it is NOT an easy job, its very fiddley & will take a while, you have to be very patient & take you time.
also the mileage roll is very hard to get out with-out damaging anything else, as it pressed in.

Remind me not to buy a low mileage bike from you

Ha, ha! yeah, well im sure we both know, that'll never happen.
anyway, i dont clock bikes, i just de-restrict & zero the speedo's & sell them on.

ive sold 7 or 8 de-restricted & zero'd speedo's on ebay in the last year or so, so if you do see a very low mileage wrecker come up for sale, always check those mot's & history!

If you don't want to take it to pieces you can always leave the speedo cable connected and attatch the end that usually goes to the sprocket onto the end of an electric drill and spin the speedo over until it goes back to zero / whatever you want. may take a while but it's the easiest way.

Honest? I thought this was a joke from years ago never knew it could really be done that easy

Reason I asked is I have a mph speedo and just wanted to see if I could wind it back to match the mileage my bike actually is just for my own piece of mind, sounds like a bit of work though.

its not that hard. Getting the needle off is the tricky fragile bit but once you pop that off its pretty straight forward.
I was in a similar boat, when i crashed mine and smashed the clocks, the clocks that i got off geoff33 were lower milage so i took them apart and added on 20kms so they were reading the correct milage. i'm a bit anal like that!

The electric drill works but most speedo's wont let you wind them back, you have to wind them forward.. which can take aages.

Don't wanna wind too fast either as you'll melt the plastic cogs :)

Yep, Neo is right, going forward takes forever.
i set an NC30 speedo up once in a jig, with an electric drill running flat out & when i came back a few hours later, it had gone forward about 1000 miles!!!!!!!!!!
since then, ive always split them & done it the hard way.

but you do not have to remove the needle to do it. and if you do remove the needle, the clocks will never read right again.
i have a cheap speedo head that ive de-restricted (speed limiter plate removed) if you want to take it off my hands - its showing 20-something thousand kms. or i could reset the miles for you to what you want for an extra £20.

or i have another for sale with zero kms on it - already reset & de-restricted.
