Default RE: Speedo problems

I have had some issues with the speedo bouncing when I turned the key on my sporty. I was told to use the kill button and then turn the key off. Something to do with an electrical surge. I've done this on my bob and have had no problems yet. The damage, if any, maybe in the electronic speedo. Sorry I couldn't help pin it down.

Personally, I think anyone who wears a Speedo has a problem!!
