Default CLUNNNK! ! !

So I'm out for a ride...........

In the low 100's nice breeze....

feet up on the highway pegs...
CLUNK, SNAP, CLUNK
"what the hell was that" Hmmm bike makes a strange noise noting draggin..
I didnt stop....
look down NO speedo, Key light is on????
What the QUACK??

Well I guess the noise mussta been the speedo cable breaking?
Guess I'll be calling (bringing) the bike over to the dealer?
Only 1988 miles on it and this??

Sounds like a speed sensor on the transmission went south on you. There's diagnostics in the do it yourself forum that will help you out.

I'll bet your directionals don't self cancel either? code P0501-P0502?

Key light on tells you a code is stored

It's got to work!
