Hi all, I have been driving my sons little 92 Suzi (while he had logged mine for the air con) and between 0 and about 60km the speedo jumps about. Above 60 it seems to settle down.

I am thinking maybe time for a new speedo cable but I thought I would check to see what others thought.

Thanks

Graeme

Mine used to do that - when i had it engineered i had the speedo corrected for the tyres by modifying the spring and the bounce went away. (The spring that drives the needle). Might be the cable, but in my case messing with the spring fixed the bounce.

I oiled mine when I put a spare cable in and it's super stable like an electric speedo.

Suzuki say to use graphite powder but mine was already oily

I'd say the speedo guy put some lube down aliens whilst he had it out.
