I laid by bike down a few weeks ago on some grass. Ever since my spedo and tach will freeze periodically. Any sugestions at what to look at to rectify this problem?

Do they freeze in a particular position, or do they just die like they lost power? Do both do it simultaneously, or do they each show the problem at different times?

They seam to freeze at any given position or whatever speed or revs that I was doing at the time. Sometimes they will both quit, or one will work and the other wont. When they do freeze they will hold this position untill I power the bike off and wait a few hours. If Im lucky after a few hours they will work again fine.

Hmm. Thats a stumper. I wonder if the guages stick when they loose power, or sweep back to zero. And I wonder which device takes the speedo and tach pulses and converts them into a signal the guages can use.

I will poke at some schematics when I get home...
