My 250 had very few miles on it when it broke a speedo cable too. Just get a new one, but be very careful screwing the housing on to the back of the speedo. The speedo has fine plastic threads and you can easily cross-thread it. Hook that end up first, being careful that it's going on easily. My old cable was dry, almost no grease on it. The replacement cable was well lubricated. If your new cable doesn't seem to be adequately lubed pick up a tube of speedo cable grease from the auto parts store.
