| Speedo fubar 15/43 So how badly is it off you think? Feels like 10 MPH. Anyone have any ball park ideas? I am trying to find one of those police trailers that sits on the side of the road...the "your going XXXMPH, and blinks if your speeding". |

I tried blitzing one the other day and the stupid thing read 45. My speedo is either reallllly off or that thing is fried
edit: are you trying to make adjustments with a speedo adjuster or just curious?
If you play with the gearing calculator on rogue it might help just get an idea

| Re: Speedo fubar 15/43 Why not... stop at a mile marker, reset your trip meter, ride for a few mile markers, say, 10, and then see how much your trip meter is off by?  |

| Re: Speedo fubar 15/43 buy 'em!
I am looking to probably get someting to recal it if it is way the heck off. But I am not too sure if it is worth it...i mean if I know it is 10MPH off why bother I guess...I know if can be different MPH off at different speeds...but as a rule of thumb, I just want to get a general idea. |
