Hey y’all, first time making a post and I have a question. So yesterday my speedo stopped working, found out it was a broken cable. The only thing that’s got me wigged out is that the bike only has 1300 miles on it, it just seems kind of early for it to break like that.

I already ordered another cable but I’m just worried that the drive might be busted or something that caused it to fail, I would just hate to wait for the cable and install it to have that one break on me y‘know? I just want to know if this is a common issue on our bikes or if perhaps the place that changed my tires put stress on it which made it break later, it looked like a fairly clean break. I also mostly ride highways since this is my commuter vehicle, idk if that makes a difference or not. Thanks!
