How the speedometer cable is routed from the drive to the gauge can make a difference to how the needle moves.Check the run of the cable and whenever possible go for straight runs and big curves.A drill at the rear of the cable on the bike might be helpful.If DennisMO was asking if you ever would put a drop of oil in the speedometer to lube the bushing (the question was a bit unclear), this can be a good idea. I had a dry bush in a speedometer gauge that responded well to a drop of oil. Normally, this is not required. And it would not typically address needle bounce.
