[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 28159, member: 2077"] I had this on my Shadow's Speedo and I found the right angle drive gears on the Speedo had been gunked (tech term) up with dried goo (tech term) and metal shavings from the gears.... It is easy to pull this drive and clean the gears surgically clean and re-lube with some light grease and set it all back together. While you are at it have a look at the drive gear off the FT hub and make sure that it too is clean and nicely lubed. Warning though the wheel drive has a peened in cover that WILL fall out if it is not re-peened well. I added some green lock tight just to be sure... If none of this works it may be time to have the speedo serviced as they need to be lubed internally every 30 or 40 years.. Good luck, Eric 52 Shadow USA [/QUOTE]
