Default 186mph on the clock! (speedo error)

Hi all

Well went for a blast on the bike today, and after giving it some beans over the moor I dropped into a 40 zone, i looked at the clocks to be amazed to see I was doing 186mph!!

I pulled over, stopped the bike, went to restart... nothing.. no lights.... balls.

Quick check of the battery and the black connector had come off! Phew!

I did wonder that 186mph didnt feel as fast as it should do! (let alone the SV going that fast!)

Have you modified the bike in anyway? I didnt think the SV could reach that sorta speed?
