So, today I noticed that especially between 60 and 70, the needle of my speedometer just wiggles back and forth say, between 60 and 70.  Shall I just take the average? :)

Any ideas what could cause this?  Should I be concerned?  IE: Sign of some mechancical problem yet unfound?
Keep dropping my '91 gs500.

Whoops.

Make sure the cable connection is snug at both ends.  I had a similar problem with my Tachometer.  It was loose and almost ready to disconnect.  Good luck.

Probably need to lube the cable.

I assume I can find info on 'lubing the cable' in the clymer manual?

I did not intend it to be but I like the way you think.  ;)

If it is not in the manual....the cable should pull out, rub some grease on it and put it back in.
