Easy Questions :)

Hey guys,

Firstly, my headlight switch (high beam/low beam switch) keeps getting stuck in and is hard to switch back to low beam. What's the easiest fix for this? Do I need a whole near LHS switchblock and do I need to rewire it all in?

Secondly, I got my bike back from getting tuned and the speedo cable was unscrewed from the back of the dash. Anyways, I screwed it back in but it seems like it's overreading. It seems when I'm doing 5k's above the limit people are passing me as if I'm 10k's under the limit..
Is there any way it could be overreading or am I just paranoid?

Thanks for any advice :)

Take the switch apart and clean it. WD-40 is your friend.

Speedo wise - if it is not on standard sprockets (15/38 on an RVF) then it will not read right.

Go past a smiley face neighborhood speed monitor 5mph over the limit and see what speed it pings you at!
