Title says it all, Speedo displays: 12, 38, 43, 8, 26, 98, 42, etc.. almost "flashing" them, totally random.

No display at all at lower speeds/revs. I did not notice it on the surface street, but, when I buried it going up the ramp and on the freeway, 6000-7000 RPM through the gears and in 6th. All other displays on the dash worked fine. Bike performed, as always, fine...

Thanks in advance for the replies! Let the thoughts, advice and hopefully fixes begin...

My guess would be the nylon adapter that fits on the counter-shaft bolt and the speedometer pickup.  Have you by chance, replaced your chain & sprockets recently?

are you sure your bike isnt trying to sing  867-5309 Jenny :goofy:

No chain or sprocket work since 2010.

Hondalover probably got out right, those nylon nuts that fit over the front sprocket and drive the speedo sensor they wear out on the inside. Mine did that.

Perfect, I have ordered the nylon nut from my local dealer... Thanks Everyone!

Did this resolve the issue? Mine just did this on Thursday and it's the first place I'll be looking into. I took out the nylon nut and it looked perfectly fine, but sometimes looks don't count!

check the connector in forward of the stator, where the pink and green wires are from the speed sensors, it takes on a lot of road grime, and can cause the same thing, if your nylon nut is okay.
