Weird issue with speedometer jump
 
I have a relatively newish MotoBravo Superhornet (yeah, the overpriced one that looks kinda like a crotch rocket). I've been having a blast on it for about a month. the speedometer is off, but it's consistent so I've just adjusted how I read it.

Here's my problem, last weekend, I was taking a ride and noticed that my speedometer said I was going well over 90mph, normally it doesn't break "70". The odometer is spinning, but the speedometer just jumps all over the place. Weird thing is, it just happened after I re-jet the carb (very small change).

My question: Does this sound like it could be a cable, a puck, or a speedo issue? any way to test the components individually?

Thanks
-Mike

Speedo is out of whack. An odometer is geared to the cable. The speedometer is moved by a spinning magnet that moves the needle.

so replace the speedo or the cable?

Speedometer if the odometer is working fine you know the speedo is gone.

sounds like a plan, I'll tear into that tonight. Thanks for the response.
