Title: Speedometer Bouncing?
Post by: esokitty on July 10, 2004, 10:00:40 PM

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?

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.

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.
