That could be a binding speedo cable. Try unscrewing it from the back of the speedo and shooting some lube-y stuff down the tube.

And Matt, if you're out of warranty, try these guys...

You don't have a speedo cable.

I fixed my gauge from doing what yours is doing.  Easy fix. Stupid tabs that hold the needle servos tend to break.  6 out of 8 broke on mine.

Can't. 

You just have to make due with what you think might work.  Electrical tape worked for me.   

I'll help you out when you're ready to fix it.

I guess you really don't need the needle 

Who really looks at it anyways

Eh, sorry for the bad advice. I keep forgetting about these newfangled electronics.

Yeah, it's been off for a couple months now -- idle was pretty much pointing straight down...  I like my bike, but these little piddly problems I seem to keep having are getting old...
