    Most likely a loose connection or bad earth...

    I know mine was reading 3-4K when clearly it wasn't as it was bouncing off the rev limiter...

    Have you tried it with the lights on, give it a few revs a see if the lights dim and then brighten..normally a sign of you alternator going... this was cause of mine, but only noticed it because of dodgy rev counter...
