Well, for starters I've had my 2003 sv 650 for about 4 or 5 months. Nothing is modified on it. All original. Anyways I road it today for about 60 miles this morning and the speed-o-meter was working just fine.
However I just went out to take it around the block and it's not showing anything.

I started off slow and it would jump from 12 to 7 to 3 to 1 and then to 0.
If I get anywhere above 10 mph it just goes to zero... And now it doesn't read at all.

I was backing it out of my parking space to test it and it seem to read fine backwards.

Any ideas?

the speedo rotor in the wheel is probably broken...

mine was doing this for a week, then, went with my bike at the dealer with the speedo still not working, I ordered the rotor speedo part (cuz they dindt had on stock), and then when I leave, my speedo works ever since. I still don't understand what the hell happened, my timing sucked ass. Now I hope I get a refund.

i think when they do a tire change they dont seat it correctly and break 1 tooth and then down the road the otehr teeth break off... :/

Well the strangest thing, I was riding home from work yesterday and my speedo kicked back in. Seems it went down for about a day and a half. No clue why, I did drive it through alot of rain last week, not sure if that would have made any difference. I might have dried up or something.
