Whats up, riding my 04 the speedometer bounces around at cruiseing speed. It will go from 50 to 80+ sometimes wondering if anybody had any thoughts. Hopefully i will be able to do the spedo healer soon also. Thanks

Is it just the speedometer or all of your gauges? Might want to check and see that the connector on the back side of the gauges is in tihgt, also, just look at the sensor on your front sprocket cover - there is a single bolt holding it on... make sure it isn't loose... (not directly for the speedo, but just in case)...
Your speed rotor may be loose or have gunk on it. It's located on the end of the front sprocket shaft.
Do you have HID?
I had the same problem on my 04; took the HID off and it never happened again.

...or hold out for an '08!(DaCol. @ May 04 2007,15:53)OR, sounds like it's time for an O7(GIXERHP @ May 04 2007,10) Replace your speed sensor, it located on the sprocket cover. Mine went bad also.
The part number is 34990-35F00, and runs around $61.00

did you change plugs? Non resistor plugs will make the guages do the same thing as will the bolt backing out of the front sprocket.

Getting a sensor this week will post results, Thanks everybody and keep up the good work.
I'd clean the one in there first, just my $.02 I actually had the same issue, just the speedo bouncing around a bit, then as I paid more attn: to it, it was only when cold, once the Busa warmed up it stopped. Later, it started doing it more often...cleaned the sensor when I swapped in a billet front sprocket cover and hasn't done it since. G/L with it.

Well i installed the new speed sensor, cleaned all the road gunk and chain lube out of the cover and BAM!!! my speedo works mint. Thanks for the input. While i was there I took the liberty to fix my second gear problem too. 4 gears on the output shaft, 1 shift fork a bunch orf gear bushings, a few clips, 1 complete gasket set from suzuki (witch does not come with everything, ie clutch pushrod seal,output shaft seal, copper sealing washers for main bearing bolts) and don't forget suzuki bond for the lower case. And you could take the lower half or the case off without taking apart the whole eng. Bike shifts like new and second gear pulls are very fun now. Thanks again for the input on the speedo and ride safe.
