Question Sticking Taco

hi all.
I have a cracking trophy 900 p reg, which i ride when ever i get the chance but i went out on saturday and i notice my taco needle was sticking at various diffrent places. It seems to stick sometimes on increase of the revs and some times on decreasing the revs. If i tap lightly on the bezzel it does sometimes free up. is there any cure that any of you know?
best regards
cj

It's dying...unfortunately, it's quite common, if your really lucky you may know of an instrument repair place and get them to have a look. It's a sealed unit the only way in is to remove the bezel but chances are you will knacker it as I beleive it needs a special tool.

New replacements are a couple of hundred quid !!!!! ebay will be your friend on this one ;-)
