Rain To Blame?
The bike (54plate pointy) took a proper soaking on thursday, I towel'd it down when I got home. This morning on a ride I noticed the Speedo wasn't registering a speed...0... Returning to it later when riding the speed was flucuating and I'm pretty sure I wasn't doing 186!...
Having researched on the Forum I was expecting some expensive reg/rec problems or at least battery related trouble. Haynes Manual and toolkit in hand I went to check the Sv's unmentionables... Problem had resolved. No problems... Is this problem likely to re-occour? and if so how can I find out the cause... I was assuming rain had got into it somehow but not sure how I can solve that issue.. Any help suggestions welcome |

Re: Rain To Blame?
It's likely the rotor on the front wheel or a connection.

Re: Rain To Blame?
my old bike used to do the same... i think it was to do with the speedo cable
 it used to undo itself over time

 As YC said, speedo rotor or connection in the rain is the most likely cause. It'll probably happen again in really heavy rain
