When I turn the bike the speedo and rpm guage does it's thing and the needle moves back and foward. When I've picked up speed the speedo doesn't work. RPM works fine. Any ideas?

I need an FSM bad!!!

Can you point me to where it might be and what it looks like, I can figure out the rest.

Straight up from your brake pedal on the case you will see a little plastic (doo-hickey) held in with an allen bolt with a wire coming out of it...that's it...I think I paid around $50.00 for mine..

I took mine out and cleaned it. It had a silver film on it. Works great.

Welcome to the club. My '03 blew out at only 2500 miles...it also contributed to a ignition glitch. Easy fix for $52.

I had nothing to do with it.

Thats what happens when you get a deal on anything. Be prepared to do a lot of repairs. I've been used to it since i've owned a 300zx.
