250es speedo gearbox, plastic internals?
So after 10 years of looking I finally got my hands on a speedo, cable and gearbox to suit my 250es over here in Australia. It's off an old farm bike but appears to be in ok condition (still in the post on its way). I had to convince the guy and offer him a heap of money to sell the stuff on its own as I couldn't afford to do the 26 hour round trip to pickup the wreck. Anyway, he told me he couldn't get the axle out, very typical for this machine I know! He told me he just cut the axle either side of the speedo gearbox. So looks like I'm in for some work to get it out now to put on my bike. My question is, are there any plastic internals in the gearboxes that I should look out for when applying some heat, or is it all aluminium and metal gearing? Anyone else had this same problem? I am so chuffed that I finally found a genuine ATC one with km/h. 10 years in the making. Thanks blokes
