Was riding about a month ago and noticed the speedo needle was suddenly on zero while the bike was doing at least 60 mph. I came to a stop and took off and the speedo started working. About three miles later, it stopped, again.
It seemed like a bad connection so I took the side panels off and cleaned the contacts on the plug of my old model "yellow box." Speedo worked fine after that. I went for a ride yesterday and the thing worked just fine.
My question is - when the speedo sensor fails on these things, is it all of a sudden or is it intermittent, like I experienced? I am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, like having to replace the sensor, which looks like it will be a PITA. Thanks.
