Sticky speedometer needle 200 1987

Hi all, it’s been a while. My trusty old 1987 240 is living a sheltered life these days and is now winterized and put aside until spring, as is the old motorbike.

But before this, the speedometer started acting up. Sometimes, but not always, the speedometer doesn’t give any readings for the first few minutes. Then, all of a sudden, the needle will jump up to show me what is assumedly the correct speed. If I hit a bump, this will fix it. Once the needle is active, it will be okay for the complete ride. It will only be sticky from start. I believe my speedometer is driven from the diff, not from the transmission.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Is this a known problem with a hopefully easy fix?

Thanks,
Erling.
