SP1 Speedo fault, please help

I was travelling home yesterday, and looked down to see what speed i was doing, and was amazed to find i was doing 0mph, i must have been doing at least 40mph
then the red f1 light came on, i got home ok, as everything is running fine apart from the speedo.
has anyone had the same problem, and what what do i need to do to get it working?

Re: SP1 Speedo fault, please help

A few times when I first bought my RC, the speedo would just go to zero and then jump around between zero and the true speed. Hasn't done it in a long time though. And I don't know the cause. Sorry.

Check the wire connection at the speed sensor. It's either loose, or the sensor has failed.
