I will be looking into this later, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this:

Note - search has been done and this is different than the findings I could pull up.

On my way to a event today, I had some open road and while rolling along at an indicated 80mph (probably more like 70 - 75) I rolled open the throttle. The Thrux took off nicely to an indicated 110 and then I rolled off the throttle. Well... the speedo started to lower in mph, but it seemed a bit optimistic. The speedo was showing 90 mph while the tach, in 5th gear, showed 4,000rpm. Mmmm this can't be right. Cars start to pass me... I roll on the throttle and keep pace with the group of cars. I am doing an indicated 130 mph!!! I pull into the meeting place and when we get rolling again, it seems fine. On the way back it shoots up from an indicated 80mph to 100mph again.

I am thinking the cable is faacocked and will check it tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.

Again, the search pulled up screaming speedos, slacking speedos, no reading speedos, but no speedo info on them telling tall tales. Yeah I did approx 100mph and that is when the readings went wild...

I know I move pretty good in the canyons and on the track, but yesterday was wild when I looked down while riding on the Crest and in one turn I was doing 130mph. Typically in the canyons I don't look at the speedo, and on the track I cover it sometimes. It was pissing me off, but making me laugh at the same time.
