This is the first I've ever hear of this happening. It does sound like a short/bad ground though.

where does the guage get its input from? speed sensor? i should test that first dont you think?

Take off your fairing and follow the wires... VTR are notorious for dirty connections. Have u had any hard thumps that could affect the speedo? If not, follow the wires, especially the grounds to any connections and clean them...

-clean
-makes sure there has no been blunt trama
-loose connections on the harness
