Speedometer not working

Any way to test if the gauge is bad?

The service manual has a whole page (or two, I think) on troubleshooting that.

Were you referring to it not working at all, or questioning the accuracy?

Not working at all.

I'll have the bike apart tomorrow trying to fix the carbs. Guess I can add 1 more project to the list

Is it consistently 30 over, like at 60mph you'd be reading 90? If so, your needle is out of alignment and you have to dismantle the cluster to fix it.
