Sounds like a dirty sensor, or a short in the system.

Do a search for "Speedometer" on TriumphRat.Net.
I've seen speedo threads, but have not read any of them. Good Luck!

If the Triumph speedo is anything like the Hawk Tacho (which, BTW the late Triumph Tach works on a Hawk just dandy........) - it's susceptible to grounding problems. You may be having charging problems too - only don't know it............. Yet..........

It's an electronic part on a British vehicle. Be grateful it works at all.

Here ya go!
Speedometer reads Zero - TriumphRat.Net Apparently it is a battery-related problem. If the voltage drops excessively during start-up, the speedometer test fails, and the speedo doesn't "boot-up". Sorta. So, check to make sure your terminals are clean and tight, and your battery is in good health. If that doesn't do the trick, it may be the speedo sensor. OK, this is where KM comes in with the sal****er repair technique.

The smut filter doesn't like "salt water" when you spell it as one word!

Not on this bike; British electronics are pre-submerged at the factory.
