Have any of you guys had a problem with your speedo? Once in a while mine will start to creep up, When I slow down it will stay at the highest reading. It will stay there after I shut the bike down. After about 5 min. it will reset to zero on its own.

 

you might check the sensor located in the tranny, right side top. it can pick up metal fuzzies and cause erratic reads. Also has effect on turn signal canceling.

 

Don't fix it!!!!!! It may get you out of a speeding ticket.

Ummm officer it's stuck, see!

 

bump

 

I agree, that's the first place to check. Quite common.

Thanks, I will check it.

 

take a shop rag with a little wd40 or the like and clean the speedo sensor...usually does the trick.

 

Cleaning the sensor is usually a temp fix, it will go out soon after. If it cures the problem, then replace it.

 

Had same problem with wifes Dyna, it was the speedometer itself. I cleaned the sensor, then replaced it, nothing worked. It was on an extended warranty. took it to dealer and got a new speedo, would have been over$300. Warranty charge $50.

 

Take it back to the stealership if still under warranty.
