Speedo gears are broken. Damn cheap to replace. Double check the teeth of that tiny gear when buying replacement gear from wrecker shop. No need to buy whole speedo transducer. Changing that speedo gear is less than 15 minutes job. Claculate the cost that a mechanic may charge you for that time.

The sensor on the front wheel is broken or the cable became disconnected.

SOURCE: 2000 Roadking my speedo works

The problem is with the speedo. The speedo has a "lean switch" that works in conjunction with the turn signal canceller. If the bike does not detect a "lean", the TSC will not cancel the turn signals Resolve the speedo problem and the turn signal problem will go away. As for what's causing the speedo problem, I have no idea other than maybe a loose connection. I've read a LOT of problems with the speedo not working on this forum but since I don't work the bikes built in 2000 and later, I'm afraid I have no experience with the problem and therefore cannot offer any advice.

Good Luck

Check for battery power at the accessory fuse and any orange and white wire

Turn signals on 2001 Chrysler Town & Country cause dash lights to come on and speedometer & odometer quit working

I would say its probably a short or a ground problem at the turn switch or a wire in that area. you need a test light and probably a multi meater and some nohow a ground or wireing problem can even drive a master teck crasy.

Turn signals work but they don't return, how do I fix?

there's a little plastic piece inside the turn switch called a cancelling cam that broke or quit working. The only fix to get switch to return is replacing the turn signal switch. I don't think you can buy the part separately.

I have a 1999 Dyna wide glide & speedometer stopped working & turn signals stay on...how to fix this problem???

There is a "reed switch" in the speedometer that cancels the turn signals. If the speedometer is not working, then the reed switch is probably not working either. If you'll contact me directly at [email protected] , I'll send you a trouble shooting guide for the turn signals in jpg format. Don't forget to remind me of what you need.
