I recently bought a 95 Road King for a second bike to spend more money basically....The other nite while riding (of course) I looked down at the speed-o and realized it was stuck on 35.....Did'nt matter if I slowed down or sped up it stayed there. I stopped and shut the bike off hoping this would work, but to no avail.....Once on the road again it went right back top 35. So I said screw it,....then about 5 miles down the road I look and it's working fine. Any ideas as to what could cause this?

probably ain't relevent, butl, in my car it was the speed sensor (an electronic device that replaced the speedo gear) that was causing a similar problem

More than likely, you just need to clean the speed sensor. I bet you find a bunch of metal shavings stuck to it.

It's on top of the tranny, on the right side, near the end of the starter. It's held in place with a single allen screw. It's black and has one wire attached to it.
