I may have found the reason for my speedometer / odometer problems. Also the headlight at night seems to go from VERY BRIGHT to VERY DIM ... back & forth.

I checked the battery & charging system ... charging at as high as 18.3 volts at road speed ... 15 to 17 volts at idle. Seems way too much ... replace voltage regulator ???

P.S. ... forgot to mention ... headlight is AWESOME at 18 volts !!!

... starter turns pretty powerfully too !!!

Before you do that check and clean all of the connections, and the battery and the grounds and the ground straps.
