A 99? Mine went haywire too just recently, I know exactly when it happened, I was maneuvering about the yard and was turning hard from lock to lock and I think I pulled it a bit out of the housing at the speedo. I haven't got around to fixing it yet. I'd pull the housing and check it. It's only a few screws.

I removed my front fender to paint it which means I had to take off the front wheel and all that stuff too... Now the speedometer is acting crazy. Most the time it just bounces around and when I turn the bike off the speedo will be stuck around 30 mph but if I roll the bike backwards a foot or two it goes back to zero.

I unhooked the cable at the wheel and was able to spin it by hand without any issue so I'm not sure what else to check at this point. I also took the axle nut off and retightened it to the proper torque just in case. The front wheel doesn't seem bound up or anything.

I just bought the bike a week or two ago and didn't put many miles on before I took the wheel off but I know that the speedo was working fine before.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
