Hi all,,
As I have said it sticks , You slow down and it's still on stuck on a 100ks and then it will jump back to where it should be , Rev counter is the same jumps up a bit at a time,
Is the a bush at the back of the speedo and rev counter that can be lubercated???
Or is it a speedo replacement job/??

I doubt it will be speedo cable as this has nothing to do with the rev counter.More likely a bad earth or something.

With the speedo it will go down if you tap the front again it must be dry or something, As for the rev counter where would I find the earth.
