Too dark and lazy to go outside to check, but it's positioned so that the port where the speedo cable is connected hangs vertically, with the speedo cable then being horizontal when connected.

 

It goes behind the fork leg, the notch resting on the fork lug stops the speedo drive being dragged round with friction from the wheel.

 

Please note the strict procedure that must be followed when replacing the front wheel:

1.- Fit washer and nut to the spindle and hand tighten

2.- Slide the caliper into position ensuring the pads pass either side of the disc and tighten fixing bolts to 28Nm.

3.- Operate front brake a few times to ensure pads are in firm contact with the disc.

4.- Lower the bike to the ground and park on the side stand.

5.- For models with cable driven speedometer: Ensure the drive tag is tight against the rear of the lug on the left fork.

6.- Tighten spindle nut to 60Nm

7.-For models with cable driven speedometer: Reconnect cable to the speedometer drive and tighten the securing screw.

8.- Pump the front forks a few times to settle them in position and finally tighten the spindle clamp bolt to 27Nm.

 

Hmmm, I've got it positioned behind the fork lug already but I've managed to snap the speedo cable right at the end somehow. I wonder if I've reversed the bike before tightening the spindle properly and the spacer has rotated backwards.
