Hey all, after a bit of help 
My speedo has stopped working and after reading a bit in the haynes manual not quite sure if it's the speedo or some other electrical part.
The Trip ( that you can reset ) has for months, only worked when riding, as soon as you turn the engine off it resets to zero. not a big problem.
Then last week the speedo and mileage stopped working. I had planned to look at it at the weekend but a couple of days later I was coming home from work and missed a gear when accelerating hard, whacked the throttle open and the rev counter jumped up to 11 or 12 K then after that all the way home the rev counter was jumping from 0 to 3k to 7k ( which I beleive is something doing a self test ).
So the question is....do you think the speedo is at fault or something else. I personally am thinking something else because of the way the rev counter jumped.....But I don't know what.
I have to admit, last year there were a few occasions when the Speedo would just jump around all over the shop for a few minutes and then settle down again.
Have done a search on here but couldn't find the answer. Sensor...speedo....bit in the front wheel ...?
Thanks
Andy
