Well :-
1st, The book says 3/4 to 1 turn out, But it depends on the state of tune. Mine will not run at those settings. I run 1 & 1/2 turns out.
2nd, I've tried Metz Sahara 3, Mich T66, Conti TCK80 & Conti Enduro-Pro. The best feeling of them is the Conti Enduro-Pro. IMHO.
3rd, Refer to previous posts on this site. You'll have to hunt for it.
4th, They all do that sir.

the speedo needle wandering about is usually a sign that your cable is about to snap and is getting snagged on the outer cable. This may not be the problem but it is worth pulling it out and checking.

I have to disagree Paul. Mine has been wavering for the last 40,000 miles on the original cable. So there.
