I would be willing to bet that your speedo cable is bad. I had a similar issue when my tach cable went: the rpm's still registered, but waaay lower than the engine was actually working. Eventually it went caput and completely severed itself internally. Keep in mind that these 2 cables are made exactly the same way.

Hopefully this helps, but if I am totally off and you're experiencing something else just let me know

Thorby,

Taking in account that your speedo drive @ the wheel is good & cable is brand new, etc...

Before your speedo went out - did it by chance squeal, jump erratically, or make noise? Another idea:

Obtain about 2-3 foot of 3/8" tubing and oil (lightweight, like 3-in-1, etc). Remove your speedo, cables, etc. place speedo flat on your workplace. Press one end of that tubing onto where the cable goes. Bring the other end of the tubing up about 2 foot above the speedo and tape it to something. Add oil into the tube (you don't need to get excessive with the oil) and let it soak the speedo for about an hour or two. May help.

Have had this particular prob with the GL1100s (the 85mph speedos are the worst) & this works.
