My speedometer works fine until the bike gets warm, then begins to act erratic and finally quits, along with the odometer. I've cleaned the sensor but that did not seem to help. Has anyone experienced this?

I would start by looking at the wiring harness at the steering head and then under the fly screen for any wear through in the harness wrapping, then do the wiggle test on all of the connectors that you see.

Check the battery terminals for looseness, and make sure the bolts are not bottoming out just as they tighten.

Test one area at a time so that if the problem changes you will know where it is.
