Removing Odometer Cable

[cigarbuf]

Does the hole in the pick-up on the hub need to be covered when removing the odometer cable (permanently)? If so, what's the best method.

Thanks

I made a plug from a wood dowel, notched for the screw, and sealed w/ silicone. Works great.

that would work but i found a little black plug for it. I wonder if you could just take the whole black odometer assembly by the wheel of or not? I'm thinking not but what do yu guys think?

If you are up for spending a few bucks, Ziptyracing has a nice plug for about $13.

I used Super Blue grease (wheel bearing grease) in mine, just don't hold the pressure washer on it

I have heard they sell spacers to go in that space if you remove the stock odometer. A friend installed a panoram computer (www.trailtech.com I think) and he said they sell spacers (it was for a KTM but I think they make them for all brands).
