Yes ,but to do it right you will need a fixture to avoid spoiling the
bezel ring. I turn an aluminum form and fit it carefuly to the face.
Then carefully lift the crimp and open the speedo. Usually a little
,very VERY little WD-40 on the pin bearings allow it to dry then a DROP
of 0W Mobil One will do the trick . Cleaning the clutch with a gentle
prodigious use of canned compressed air should blow out the dust that
may cause drag there . Since your speedo seems to read low I would
suspect the pin is dry. Dusty clutches tend to read high.

Bob's speedometer in Farmington Mich can make it run like new if you
don't want to risk damage.

Jesse,
Can anyone (me included) open up a speedo? I thought they were sealed
so no
one could mess with the odometer. Can you provide me with more info on
this? Thanks, Bob

Usually it is the cable. If you can positively rule out the cable (even
a new cable can have a bind that causes surging). Otherwise the speedo
can will need to be opened . The surging can be caused by underdamping
usually from the speedo bearings being too dry. The other cause is
debris in the magnetic drive. The debris will drag the magnetic slip
clutch and cause needle fluctuation. Any make magnetic drive speedo can
have problems like these.

My Veglia speedo wavers back and forth. Even when I am up around 70 she

not worry about this and see it as entertainment?
