Around 55+ MPH the speedo needle is wagging a bit at me around 55+ MPH. I already took the cable apart and wipped down and oiled the whole thing. What could it be?

XS-IVE-HABIT,
Could still be the cable. Check to see if there are sections that are starting to come apart. Could be the square ends are not square anymore.
Could also be the speedo gear box on the front wheel. Take it apart, clean and grease it.
If you do need a new cable, you can get the speedo repair kit at most auto supply stores for less than $10.

Thank you I will relay that information back to my father. he is keeping my bike in the mountains. 2
I have found that if I ride my bike everyday the speedo won't bounce around much. If I let it set a few days the speedo bounces for the first few miles then evens out. I think the lube in the speedo head itself gets dry and stiff. If you ride alot the lube softens.
Same problem here except I have a new mini speedo from Dennis Kirk and a new cable. Everything was fine until around 400 miles on it then it started doing that also at any speed over 40 mph. Not sure where the problem is.
