This just kinda started it does register correct speed....does this once in awhile..When at a stop it goes from 0-60 or so comes back down and stops..than when I start it works great and every once in awhile it will gander above my actual speed and come back to speed?? Is this a sensor problem or is the speedo getting ready to take a dump?? I have no other electrical problems at all with the bike... Any help would kinda give me a clue on what to do....I really don't want to have to take it over to the STEALER!!!!! Thanks   Oh....all other functions on the speedo works great...just the wandering needle... no probs with the tach.... _____________________________ Sweat dries faster than road rash heals...

They have a habit of collecting metallic fuzz and become unreliable, usually need replacement at about $50 for the part. Notice if your directionals fail to self cancel when this happens. That is more of an indication of the sensor.

Next time it does it see if it stops when you let go of the brake lever ? Just wondering if its getting a bad earth and back feeding off the brake circuit some how _____________________________ S.T.D.E (in reply to peppi) Post #: 3 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
