Title: Possible speedo problem?
Post by: RUSS M8 on August 28, 2005, 02:05:41 AM
I have a 96 Bandit 1200S.  I noticed this week that when I had pulled up at traffic lights, the speedo was still coming down.  It went down from about 20km/h to 0 while I was watching - while I was stationary.
Seeing as the speedo system is a direct drive cable setup I am presuming there is something wrong?  When I am stopped, the speedo drive on the front wheel must be stopped, so the cable should be stopped, so the speedo should not be registering?
First thing I have checked the cable, coz that's easy to do - it's fine.
Can others see if their bike does the same thing?
Has this happened to anyone else?
