    Every ride after about 30 minutes or so, the speedometer readout jumps from actual speed up and down and back. The indication of false speed lasts just for a microsecond, but keeps jumping between actual and a false speed. I cleaned the connector behind the headlight and made sure the pickup was clean at the wheel. Still happens. Any ideas?

    thx!

    I could hit 160mph in fourth gear on my stock speedo. It felt like no more than 120mph. Look into the Trailtech Vapor, more features and not too difficult to install. You might also try unplugging the CDI, sometimes good things electrical happen with that.

    Mine did that on my 510 right before it went out. :P Now I have a Vapor.

    Speedometers seem to be an achille's heel for Husky. Our 610 speedo was acting up the other day. I imagine that one will go out too.

    My TE610 speedo started acting up after changing to a HID low beam and the battery voltage climbed to over 15V with the reduced load. In my case it does not boot up and give you a blank blue screen. Randomly happens when I turn the key on. Eventually decides to work again on its own. Taking power away speeds the recovery up. Thre is constant power applied to teh speedo and I suspect this helps maintain whatever weirdness it gets into.

    I just put a Vapor on yesterday :-). Still working on the tach working from the ECU output (not working, but 8V pulses should I think) and making up some sort of LED indicator light array including fuel level.
