Speedo had a fit! - SV650.org

Got the bike out for the first time this year and speedo decidided to tell me that I was doing 150MPH behind a Fiat Punto in a 30 limit

After a bit it appeared to recover and read properly. I've had a quick search and it looks Like I have a choice of electrical or the sender playing up as the cause

Can the sender on the front wheel "get better" or has an electrical connection jiggled itself back in place?

Thanks

the sender tends to get killed by careless replacement of the front wheel, generally the plastic lugs snap off and that's that.

Leccy gremlins are less cut and dry.
