1985 Honda CB700SC · Instrument Speedometer Cable Buying guide
A speed-reading fault may involve the cable, drive or gauge. Identify the failed part, then compare the replacement cable with the endpoints and route of the assembly actually fitted.
The black 51-2315 cable lists 44830-MJ1-000 among its Honda replacement references. At the original CB700SC front-wheel gearbox, Honda shows a set-screw-retained cable end. Compare that lower fitting, the instrument connection and routed length separately, especially if the wheel or gauge has changed.
A kinked or damaged cable is only one possible reason for a poor speed reading. Check its connections and the associated drive and instrument before buying. Use the service manual to route and fit the replacement without introducing tight bends or interference.
No. Honda shows a set screw retaining the cable at the front-wheel gearbox. Match the lower drive fitting and the instrument-end connection separately; a generic description of two threaded ends is not sufficient for this motorcycle.
Confirm the gauge’s cable fitting and required drive ratio. The original-model cable application does not establish compatibility with every custom instrument or changed drive.
The original tachometer has a separate ignition-signal circuit. This cable drives speed indication from the front-wheel gearbox, so identify whether the symptom is road speed or engine speed before selecting a replacement.
