http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Honda/CB-1_CB_400_F__NC27/89-90/picture/Speedo_Joint_-__Plastic_Sprocket_Widget/ , if it is worn or stripped it will cause the needle to bounce or just not work. you will also need to disconnect the cable you can see where it goes into the metal cover in the first pic there will be a screw or allen nut that you will have to remove in order to take the cable out it's just beside the entrance to where the cable inserts. the other end of the cable goes into the clock cluster just underneath the speedometer. hope this is of some help
