Its most likely the cluster going bad, thats the same symptoms that mine did have be4 it broke( except on mine no gauges work). try unplugging the fuse and then plugging it back in, it resets the cluster. _____________________________ (in reply to streetbikr600) Post #: 2

To this day I'm still not sure if it was the sensors going bad or the actual gauge cluster. Mine did the same thing though when I stepped on it. The MPH gauge did not work until I hit about 80MPH so I'm honestly not quite sure (in reply to streetbikr600) Post #: 6
