"They all do that"?
Seriously, it's pretty common. Possibiities include poor cable lubrication,
kinked or fraying cable, dirt in the cable housing or the speedo itself,
failing right-angle drive (if present)... you have to try to optimize each
factor in turn, until you see some improvement. Some people have become
frustrated when nothing seemed to work. I personally haven't made any effort
so far, besides replacing the cable with a longer one to eliminate the
right-angle drive.
