The instrument cluster on my 2020 Sei Giorni is making noise. I get moving, the speedometer moves and starts making noise. Sounds like a scraping or rubbing noise. Thought it was coming from my front wheel cuz it started soon after I did front brakes. But definitely coming from the instrument cluster
I know this can be an issue on mechanical speedometers. I've never heard of it on a speedometer that uses a speed sensor signal.

I'm under the impression all GTV based models still use the mechanical cable.

I've had my instrument cluster off, there is no speedometer cable just wires going to it.

I could be wrong, I do own three; excuse me, four scooters now.

Wonder if it's related to the brake job then?
Going to have to look closer at anything I did to the front end.
