I made a 1,400 mile ride to Big Bend on my 2006 America and everything went fine. We did have temperature extremes from 20 degrees to 90 on the same day but the bike worked fine.

Now, when I first start riding the speedometer smoothly moves up to 120mph before I get out of 1st gear. After riding for a while it stays high and then drops back to normal speeds according to the tach.

Warranty ran out on the 29th of last month. Bike has 12,260 miles. Not much faith in dealer or Triumph. When this used to happen to cars, we would put graphite on the speedometer cable but the bike is not making the sounds a car used to.
