I was wondering why you haven't posted in a little while. Congrats on getting married.

I have been keeping an eye out while surfing for digital, analogue style speedo. No Luck, there just don't seem to be any. Weird....

That don't sound good mate. I would have the plugs out and check to see if they are all oiled up, could be valve stem oil seals. Lets hope not. Has the bike been sitting around for a while and not been fired up? might just need a good run. Check the oil level, make sure it's not overfilled.
