What happens whenever the gear position sensor goes south?
Could this be the culprit or is it up in the speedo electrical?

hey Pipe...you dont have a tre in there somewhere do ya ?
This sorta sounds like an intermitant TRE shorting thing...

No almighty bald one. I do not have a tre on the bike.
I am thinking about taking the sprocket cover off and checking the speed sensing nut and to give the cover a good look over and look for any cracks.
there's a couple tricks for the RE/RE of that cover...if you haven't "been there,an' done that"...let us know...
the "Almighty Bald 1"...
hav a trouble free 1...RSD.
Been there and done that. Will let you all know after I get it checked out.
I'll check it all again. I hope I didn't forget nothing. Didn't have any spare parts lying around last time I worked on it.take your slave cyl cover off, inspect the front sprocket area. maybe you forgot something??
Sounds like a bad speedsensor or a problem in the gauge package, hope not.
SpeedoHealer works perfectly, all the time. I suspect PF will say the same for his. You either have a def unit or something loose in the wiring.
RSD,
A TRE cannot effect the Speedo as it only mods the GPS sensor signal before it goes to the ECU.
I hope not either.Sounds like a bad speedsensor or a problem in the gauge package, hope not.
I checked the cover for cracks this morning. Looked perfect inside and out.
Checked the sensor and all wiring. Everything looks fine and snug.
Will go out on a ride later and see if anything helps or it fixed itself.
I agree with Justin. When I had it on the bike it worked flawlessly the entire time. Was dead on accurate with GPS. Check wiring or contact speedohealer for a replacement.SpeedoHealer works perfectly, all the time. I suspect PF will say the same for his. You either have a def unit or something loose in the wiring.
I wondered too. Sombody on this board once claimed victory over their speedo issues by removing the tre. They probably just bumped something else and thought that was the cure.RSD,

Just got back from the test ride.
Speedo still not worky properly.
Guess I'll eventually get the speed sensor, since it would be cheaper then buying the instrument electronics.
Thanks for everyones help.
If you have anything else to add, feel free to.

If nothing else seems to work double check Rec/Reg voltage. Speedo "hopping" is a common side effect of voltage reg going south. Do you notice anthing wierd with the light (dimmer/brighter/etc).
This could very well be the problem if the reg was marginal since the HID only requires 35watt vs 55 and now the REG has to pull down the extra current. If the battery was low(not sure if you said it was or just thought it was) there is a BIG BLINKING SIGN pointing to a rec/reg failure.
that 04 out of warranty already?
Sorry to overlook your post.
Yes it is out of warrenty.
Also, finally an update.
It was the HID unit making the speedo needle bounce.
Has been taken off and silverstars installed.
Works just as good.

Which HID unit was it? I am planning on installing the McCullough unit I got from the xenonKing group buy next week. Was the location of the ballast box the problem? If so where did you have yours mounted so hopefully I won't have the same problem
Yes unit as the group buy.
Bigger box on the right ram air tube
Smaller screwed with the top screw in the turn signal.
