Speedo needle going crazy
Hi all... all of a sudden I have a problem with the speedo needle, basically upon turning off the needle is stuck on 20km/h even though I am at a standstill, while moving also it is not giving the correct readings, riding at approx 10km would give me 20km while sometimes it gets stuck on 40km.
I tried to remove the cable and plug it again with no success. The funny thing is that when I knock gently on the glass it goes back to 0km. Do you know what could be the problem and how I can solve it?

The cable has 2 ends. When you say you unplugged it and replugged, is it safe to assume you did both ends? I mean, the end on the front wheel is real easy to get to ya know.

Use a magnifier to concentrate Sun light on several spots of the needle in order to straighten it out with the heat.

The cable makes the magnet of the clutch spin, which drags the needle via the clutch.
