I have an 09 Train with 47,000 miles. On my way home from work, the speedo was jumping all around the place, then went to zero. When I came to a red light, as I was slowing down, the bike shut off. The bike started right up, and the issue went away. I have the stock speed sensor and speedo on the bike. Has anyone had an issue with this? Do I need to clean the speed sensor?
Thanks for your help!

 

I beat you to it JR (HAHAHA)!!

Haak,

This comes up frequently on here and usually that's the cause. Speed sensor could just be dirty if the speedo is coming back to life, or its just a sign that it's on the fritz. Another symptom besides what you're experiencing is that the signals won't auto cancel since that's controlled by that sensor as well.

So, you can try cleaning it and if it continues to happen, just replace it. They cost around $60 at the dealer.

 

Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have slept in!

I will just add that if it needs replaced, the connector is in front of the splash guard, right side of bike.

 

I won't ever step on your territory again, its only right that you maintain the throne lol
