wondering if anyone has encountered a problem like mine..
Ive been watching the boards and decided to take the chance and switch to synthetic oil (Mobile 1 15w30) the bike has 15000miles on it
since ive switched oil i have encountered a problem with my speedometer... when im cruising down the highway in 6th gear doing between 70-85mph.. i notice that at random times i look down and see that the speedometer is pinned at 185... I then pull the clutch and it drops down to 0mph
if im coasting when this is all happening and rev the engine to about 3500rpm .. the speedometer jumps back up to 185mph.
Im not sure what to think and i dont think its a cluster problem due to the fact that i my MPG is reading 50mpg and when it happens .. I can go a marked highway mileand it says that i have traveled over 3 miles
this problem has never happened to me before and its not a constant thing .. it is however starting to happen more often.
I need to know if anyone else has encounterd a issue like this and how was it remedied !!!
