Default speedo fluctuation?

can anyone tell me why when im steadily cruising at 70mph in 6th gear the speedo needle flicks up between 80-90mph without moving the throttle pedal? its happened more than once, ive not noticed it at low speeds.
Is it anything to be concerned about?

Sounds like a possible loose electrical connection somewhere - I had some issues after fitting a speed converter / delimiter chip to mine, turned out to be bad connections, just needed to solder them (block connectors don't work well for this) - that would only apply if it has electronic speedo tho
