Welcome...
Ride it, maybe change the bars?seat?..then think if you really wanna chop/modify it or its "quirkyness" totally fits the individualistic bill and leave "the old girl" as is..

BTW...Not anti cafe...was going to cafe my CB.😄.then realised they pretty rare in oz (not in US)..left it alone bar suspension and electrics upgrade

My speedo is a bit jank and sticky too - takes forever to get up to speed and forever to go back down...!
Sounds like lack of lubrication.....first step lube the cable...

Fwiw...i had a Bmw motometer do that after a instrument rebuild by the local VDO technician.. lubed the cable refitted it and the gauge died...lol .😄 . (Haha)

Could be lack of gease at the wheel end but sounds more like the gauge internals..

Leave alone unless confident in the job..

The speedos a basic clock mechanism....
If you feel confident by all means tackle it...if not just leave it to later...
The passing cars are just "raining on your parade"!
