Anyone else have this problem?

I first noticed it about a week or two ago and it seems it has been happening more and more. I'll be cruising along and glance down and see a big fat 0 where my speed should be.
Has no effect on the tach. I haven't been able to figure out what causes it our what fixes it but it comes and goes.

Speed sensor going out. Relatively common.

Yup. Already had mine replaced at ~325 mi.

I have the same problem even after taking the bike into the dealer 3 times for it. Since it is intermittent and random.

Check out this topic for my story

I have had this problem as well. I have 8000 miles on my R. I took it in after reading all the posts about this problem. When I told them it was the speed sensor they didn't believe me. They want to "diagnose" the problem. I told them it was an intermittent problem and I never know when it will happen. Bottom line is my dealer won't order a new speed sensor until they look at it. It really doesn't happen enough for me to tie up riding time while they "diagnose" the problem. I told them I would run it until it doesn't work at all and then bring it in. I have a few more months of warranty so I hope it goes before then. Thanks to this web site I know more about this bike than the mechanics at the dealership. You would think they would listen to us Buell riders by now.

Mine was intermittent for a long time. It finally started throwing Sys Speed Error or something like that on the cluster, and the dealer saw it.

I bet I put 1,000+ on the bike with it reading "0 MPH" before it was finally replaced.

Mine does the same. Is it the speed sensor or the speedo itself? My mechanic said it was the speedo and have ordered one but they haven't replaced it yet>?
