Default RE: Speedometer Problem

Ok I talked to the service rep over the phone this morning and he said it sounds like a bad speedo. Cost $275 and then one hour labor on top of that. Before I order the speedo I'm gonnapull the sensor and cleanthe shavings. If that works I'll waituntil it does it again and then replace the sensor. Thanks again for the help.

Update:&nbsp\\; I pulled the sensor and cleaned it, it was covered in shavings.&nbsp\\; On the test ride (to the dealer) I noticed a slight difference in the speedo action but it still wasn't working right.&nbsp\\; At the dealer I talked to the service manager and the only&nbsp\\;help he offered was "Bring it in for a diagnostics".&nbsp\\; I ordered the speed sensor and waited ten days for it to come in.&nbsp\\; During that time the blinkers stopped self canceling.&nbsp\\; I installed the new sensor and everything's working fine now.&nbsp\\; Total cost $59.08.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Sidebar bitch:&nbsp\\; I use Jones Harley in NLR AR as my home base for maintenance and parts supply.&nbsp\\; The old service manager Landon was promoted and moved to the Hot Springs dealership.&nbsp\\; He was always helpful with advice and&nbsp\\;helped me save some bucks.&nbsp\\; The new service manager didn't help at all.&nbsp\\; I'm sure with his experience he knew what was wrong but didn't want to tell me.&nbsp\\; If I had listened to him it would have cost me one hour&nbsp\\;labor for diagnostics, one hour labor for installation, and the cost of the part.&nbsp\\; Total $190 vs $59.08.&nbsp\\; Very disappointing.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;
