Default speedo float

Hey everyone. Trying to figure out a small issue here.
My speedo floats.

I can lock the throttle at any speed, and it will hover back and forth by about 5kms, maybe more while locked in place. once in a blue moon, on the highway, cruising at a 120kms. the speedo will drop to zero then shoot back up to actual speed.

checked wires, checked fuses, only thing I didn't do was take it off the tank.
any suggestions?

Remove the speed sensor on top of the tranny. Clean the metal “hair” off it. If there is no “hair” replace sensor.
