Speedo jumping on acceleration

on acceleration the speedo jump's the harder the acceleration the bigger the jumps, at a cruise it has about a 5 mph jump, on a decel it holds the speed steady?:huh: i replaced the cable this spring and probably rode about 500 miles before this started?

Did you lube the new cable when you installed it? These cables need lube big time. ;)

Once a year I pull the inner speedo cable out and clean it with sovent,relube it with some moly based wheel bearing grease and reinstall it. No problems!
