Gauge Cluster Freeze

[everyother_time]

So I started up the Buell today, to move it into storage for my upcomming deployment. On the ride over I knoticed my RPM Gauge was frozen on the 5. after tapping it with my glove (with some moderate love) it started to move again. Could it just not want to move because it was 33 Degrees outside? or could it be something wrong? anyone else have this issue?

Anyone?

Did it do its sweep at "key on"?

I agree with poster above. First check to see if the needles sweep. If they do its a good chance that the cluster is working just fine. If they do not sweep it may be time to find a new one.

If the needles sweep fine and the RPM guage still does not react the way it should while riding there is a good chance the speed sensor is faulty or buggy. Mine is........

I think it was just cold, I hope anyway, I'll go back and check it this weekend from storage. it was working just fine when I did the face replace and rode it for a while, however this is the first time I started it up when it was this cold.

It may have been slightly bound from the replacement of the needle, I wouldn't worry about it, the speed sensor has nothing to do with the tach, but yeh my speed sensor is buggy also

cold should not be a factor at 30 ish degrees i ride at 5 degrees with no issues
