Slim speedometer issue
Hey everyone, I had an issue with my 15' slim's speedometer and wanted to see if anyone had some advice/had the same issue. Sometimes when I get on the throttle pretty good, when I hit about 45mph my needle will stick even though I know I'm going well over that. When I let off the throttle the needle goes back down but once I give it has it quickly jumps back up and sticks at 45mph again. Also, when I come to a stop, it will stay at zero but as soon as I start moving it quickly jumps up and puts me at like 20mph faster than I'm actually going. Once I stop and **** it off for about 5 minutes it's fine. I've read that it could be either a faulty speedo, a dirty speedo sensor or a faulty speedo sensor. Any advice would be appreciated!

I had similar problems with my 2015 slim shortly after I got it took to dealer they called Harley sent a new speedo they installed it no problems since. I've seen quite a few people with this issue bad batch of speedos I guess. Not sure if there is any fix except replacing it. ( Thanks for your service Sir )

We did over 100 miles yesterday. I thought a few times it looked like the needle would seem to be bounce a little when I was around 45. I will have to watch for it again.

Has happened on every Harley I have ever owned and never on any other manufactures bike I have ever owned, had mine replaced at 1100 miles already, may take apart and drill to stop staining from occurring.
