Speedometer

[warnett]

I get a lot of speedometer needle shake. Is this normal on an older bike?

Yes normal in the sense that it needs maint done.
Try lubing the cable with atf and the bushing in the back where the Speedo connects.

Thanks Dan

Might also just want to spring for a new cable. They aren't much $ even from Honda.

And route the cable so there aren't any tight bends. The closer it is to straight the better.

Also clean and lube the speedo cluster on the front wheel.

What do you use for lube?

After a good cleaning, I just gave it a shot of PJ1 cable lube. Good for now.
