Bouncy speedo question

(1/2) > >>

Davelu88:
Hi All
         Can anyone answer why my speedo on my 400/4 goes a bit wild, it seems ok up to about 60ish but after that goes bouncy even up to 120 mph !!!
Cheers

Pretty standard on a 40 year old bike me thinks. I think it's got something to do with damping and oil or something like that. Peter Horton (Kent400 on the forum) overhauled mine and I know he does a lot of forum members clocks, great job he did too.

Thanks Julie, I would suggest checking the cable first. Draw the inner cable out clean and re-lubricate it. That were to start, if the cable is good and revolves freely there could be a problem with the gauge.

Many thanks for replies, it dont worry me that much but was just wondering why, I will keep you in mind Peter if i decide to get them done .

Mine's the same. After around 60 it bounces up and down. I just go slowly  ;D
