I would strony suggest you check out your drive and speedo, something is causing the cable to bind, and i would guess its your speedo, ie your drive spins the cable that spins the speedo, i think the drive(at the wheel) keeps spining and the spedo is either stopping or getting caught

make sure you lube the inner cable before you install it. the last one i received from the factory was barely lubed. tri-flow teflon lube works for me, slick as goose poo and it stops the needle from bouncing all over.

oops my bad... the tri-flow lube i mentioned above seems to only work @ lower temperatures (the needle was bouncing all over the place when the temperature here hit 30 degrees C), i have gone back to a dry graphite spray and my bouncing needle has officially dissappeared.
