Remove cable from speedometer head and squirt proper lubricant through cable housing
Try blowing graphite down there.
Speedometer cables can dry out over time. Remove the cable from the back of the speedometer, and lube the cable with graphite. This should fix the issue.
The cable needs lubricating. Remove the speedometer cable and lubricating it with special lube for that purpose. Any auto parts store can provide the proper lube. Remove the cable and clean it throughly with spray brake cleaner. Let it dry and apply the lube. Reinstall the cable and you should see the needle stop jumping and making noise.
Try disconecting the speedometer cable and squirt some lube in it. It might have dried out.

It's probably a dry cable. Pull the instrument cluster and disconnect the speedometer cable. Squirt some cable lube down the tube. Usually takes a few shots of lube to get enough down the cable to make a difference. Best bet is to squirt a little own the tube and then let it sit for 30 min and come back and do it again. Try 3 or 4 squirts over a couple hours.
You need to grease the cable that runs from the speedometer to the trans. (Best to use white lube)
Probably you will need to remove the speedo cable and clean and lube it
Either the cable dry or something is wrong in the head. Take the cable out first and lube it and see if that fixes it.
you can buy a tool made for lubricating cables, at a motorcycle shop then u need to disconnect the cable from back of speedo, use the tool and lubricant then reintall cable to speedo usually tho if a speedo cable gets noisy it is worn out and about to break
Hey Criss==First take it loose at the speedometer end then pull it out of the housing. If it is broken, take it loose at the trans and remove the broken part. Put them together and measure the length. Go to the store and get a cable the correct length and get some speedo cable lube. In stall the cable into the housing with lots of grease and hook up the ends and that is all. If the housing is bad you will need a new housing and cable. GoodluckJoe
