Default Speedo/Odometer troubles...

I was out riding this weekend and at some point mid ride, i glanced down and noticed my Speedo wasnt working. Odometer/trip were on but not registering any miles. I have an '01 Wide Glide. Is this a sensor problem or am i looking at needing a new speedo.

Check your voltage regulator 1st. If that is performing as advertised, then check your speedo.

Speed sensor- 99.999% sure. You could pull yours out and clean. Worked for a while like that on my wife's sportster. Finally had to buy a new one. Her bike had the same exact symptoms. Speedo quit and turn signals wouldn't cancel.
