*FIXED* Speedo Vibration Noise (ROCKER)

Ok, my speedometer was vibrating when I reached certain RPM's. It was actually making more of a buzzing sound. After taking it apart, I realized it was held in place by a clip. This being the case, made it very difficult to try and tighten the speedometer. After looking at it for a couple of minutes, I realized that if I could shim out the clips it would tighten down the speedometer. So I cut 2 (two) 1/4" shims out of 26 gauge sheet metal. I installed them under one side of the clip and...voila! Problem solved. After I installed the metal shims, I put a couple drops of Lock-tite on to ensure that the shims do not vibrate out.

Thanks for posting this..I think I have the same rattle. Bike is apart right now so will fix it now. Also, another source of possible vibration could be from the cheap *** plastic gear indicator piece that is held by another plastic clip...When I would look at the little flashing arrow or N light I noticed that it looked like it was slowly chipping away, I thought it was glass until I took it out..realized it was a clear piece of plastic! total replacement was 5.00 at the dealer....I thought for sure it would be at least 50.00. Thanks again.
