    Speedometer "pickup"

    I have a new to me 2004 zx 225 and the speedometer dont work. (which I know is normal and they arent accurate when they do work) I like things to function so I am trying to figure where the pickup is for the speedometer so I can clean it out and see if that is the problem. Any help would be greatly apprieciated!

    It is a tiny hole on the forward edge of the lower unit, just above the cone.

    Spin a small drill bit in there by hand. It is most likely filled with wood pulp from a stick that you ran over.
