Sticking Speedometer
Sticking Speedometer
Here's a new one, while riding with a friend the other day, I noticed my r75/5 tachometer was nearly pegged in fourth gear, while the speedometer was indicating only 65 mph. I asked my friend to indicate mph as we passed 60, 70 and 80 mph. It seems my speedo works fine up to 60 and then sticks. Everything under 60 is normal. Any ideas why this is happening, and ideas on how to fix it?

I have a full size copy of that poster on my wall. The photo is by Jean-Marie Bottequin for BMW AG (Google images of his other work). It is on the center stand, which appears to be covered with white tape.
