Speedometer question

[WIKD]

Today is the first day since I bought it that I could ride my new Venture. The question I have is, it's a 2006 and the speedo clicks more than sweeps. When going up or down it ticks just like the second hand of a watch. Just curious if that's normal, never seen it before.

WIKD,

I just purchased an '07 and it does the same thing. I'm pretty sure it's by design. By the way, welcome to the VentureRider site.

Yes. Mine does it. You will find that its showing about 7.5 % faster than your actual speed also. A few of us here have installed the Speedohealer on them.

Thanks guys, and thanks for the welcome.

Its a digital display, not a mechanical pointer. Look at it when you turn the ignition switch on and all the pointer positions 'light' up. The tick movement is the display moving from one led position to the next.
