My speedometer on 2005 Honda Shadow 750 quit working, what can I do?

I noticed when it was on its last breath, the speedo fluctuated up and down near 10 mph as I was traveling much faster. This happened same time last year, had a shop put new tires on it. When i got my bike back, the speedometer suddenly worked. Any thoughts on possible causes?

    Thanks for the advice MJ. The shop was not aware of the speedo issue, would they normally lube ththose components after replacing tires?

Most likely your speedometer cable or sensor was the culprit. I assume they cleaned and lubed it properly and remedied the problem.

    Thanks for the input MJ. The shop was not aware of the speedo issue when I had the tires replaced. Would they routinely lube the speedo components during a tire swap?

Check front rim where speedo cable connects.Speedo's are manual so 90% of the time the problem lies with the cable.

Speedometer not workin

nothing electrical about the speedo on that bike...so if the speedo drive on the wheel is spinning it's gotta be either a broken cable or the speedo itself
