At 188 miles both the speedometer and the odometer have sopped working. The speedometer just sits on 0. The odometer is stuck at 188.2. I can't say for sure they stopped working at the same time, but I suspect they did. I of course noticed the speedometer before the odometer.
Any suggestions, and is it hard to fix these? I actually care more about the odometer since I want to make sure I do maintenance on time, and considering the speedometer was no where near accurate to begin with. |

IMHO, your speedometer/odometer cable has come loose and/or has broken. Don't know what kind of scoot you have, but you'll probably have to remove some front plastics and see if the cable is connected to the base of your speedometer/odometer. If everything seems connected, the cable may be broken...  . I wouldn't think they'd be too hard to replace, but I have never done it...  |

Check that the speedometer drive is correctly attached to the wheel and that the cable has not broken and is still attached to the speedometer. Many times its simply that a full PDI was not done and the front wheel was not assembled or tightened correctly which can be a very big safety issue.
Be sure to check that the wheels are installed correctly and have not started to come loose before riding the bike again.

I agree with all of the above. After that is corrected, you might consider adding one of the cheap tach/hour meters, to your scoot. If you already have a tach, then just a plain hour meter. Lots of them available on ebay, and using an hour meter is a great way to keep track of maintenance. I recently purchased one of the combo models for $8 and change, will be installing on my Ural for just that reason. Don't know what a Ural is Click Here |

Can be easy to maintain. Just keep the fluids full is what some Eastern Europeans claim. Doesn't even have to be oil just a liquid so they tell me however I would not test that out on my own bike. |

Thanks for the replies! I took it all apart this week and found that the cable is fine. The issue is that the wheel is not turning the 'puck' or whatever it's called. For the life of me I can't get it pushed together well enough that little prongs catch the wheel when it turns. I'm not sure if the puck needs replaced, or if my issue is just that I can't get these pieces close enough together.
Hope this makes sense. I'll get some pics of it tonight.
