Intermittent Speedo/Odometer
well today i got to take my bike out for the first long ride in a long time. About 5 minutes into it (just filled up) I look down at the gauges and the speedo shows im going 0mph while doing at least 60mph (wtf)? I pull over check out what i can see and no loose/hanging wires, so get back on the road again and now the speedo works, 1 minute later it doesnt, then it does, doesnt....... Im thinking it would have to be the speed sensor, No?? Any input or previous experience would be appreciated.
I couldnt keep my mind right riding today, i kept looking at/thinking about my speedometer

RE: Intermittent Speedo/Odometer
well i took it out again and this time it only worked when i was first pulling away from my house in 1st gear, as soon as i shifted second it went to 0mph and never came back on... after a few minutes the FI light and a red light came on...
tell me why when it worked i never looked at the speedo but now that it doesnt work it was stealing
my attention and i had to go home cause i was staring at it

RE: Intermittent Speedo/Odometer
Do the speed sensors on these use a magnet sort of deal where it sends a squarewave to the cluster and a higher freq means higher speed on the display? In my experience those are either good or bad and don't have an in-between. I'd check the wires and connectors for any kind of break or corrosion and hope that your cluster isn't having some kind of internal problem. Even if you don't find a short, running new wire from the sensor all the way up won't be that expensive to try out.
