Default Speedo problems

Got my SV on the road and everything's going great, noticed that I'm having some problems with the speedo though - it seems to show about 10mph over the actual speed. It's also sticking sometimes - sticks at 30 when I'm going faster, or sticks and 70 even when I've slowed, then flicks down to 40 all of a sudden.

Had front wheel off for fork seals so am not sure if that's anything to do with it...

Well you'd be wanting to check speedo its self, in the front wheel are aload of magnets and stuff that have been know to give up over time. Or you could have done what I did and some how get the cable trapped and it played up for a bit and then one of the wires broke. Just rewired it and all was fine.
