Default Speedo Issue
Rode to work yesterday morning about 37 degrees out. And the speedo will only go up to 40mph when I am doing 65?
Also does down to Zero real slow. Willl this also effect the miles on the odometer? Any tips on what to do? Can it be lubed? Or dry graphite. Thanks for any advise.

My speedometer quit working but the odometer still worked. The needle just points straight down & dosen't move at all. It is in the shop waiting for a new speedometer.

Not sure if I have the Zippers Thunder-Max or not. Bought the bike used. It has astage One Kit but I don't know much else. I put a couple thousand miles on it with issue. It was a little colder yesterday morning than any day I had rode prior?I will have to check into the type of ECM if any was installed. Where would the ECM be mounted?
