Howdy,
I am the very proud owner of a 2012 250R as of 2 weeks ago. :D First bike, having a blast riding! I've enjoyed this site leading up to the decision, and since. I can't find an answer to a issue that's come up: on a ride yesterday my speedometer and odometer stopped working. (Original owner installed a Koso dash.) I found that the speedo cable came out of the dash. Upon investigation it is missing a part needed to screw it back into the dash I think. Pointed to in red in this image, I think:

I've read about installing magnets etc. to make the Koso work. Confused as to if the original speedo cable similar to the one in the pic is still supposed to work. I've read about installing these dashes but I can't figure that one out.
Anyways, from the pic I don't seem to have that part, and the dash part feels externally threaded, so nothing exists to screw over that. If the part in the pic was on mine and I could screw it in, I would be good I think unless there is something different about the Koso setup. This pic came from ebay. Can someone please confirm that I just need this connector (or new cable) to re-affix the cable to the dash? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks!!
Will
