Speedo accuracy question
#3
the speedo's on all Jap bikes are off by between 3% to over 10% in some cases.
I assume it's accurate enough, cause I haven't gotten a ticket on the HD YET .

heh heh. Got pulled over last fall on my gixxer on the way home from the Tool concert doin' 102. First thing out of the cop's mouth; "102 ??!!! What are you thinkin man?!!" What I was thinkin but couldn't tell him was that two minutes earlier I was doin 135. phew.

my 89 FXR had the wrong reduction gear installed so it only registers half the miles accruing. So the bike had twice the miles on it when I bought it. Marv Smith of Apache Junction, AZ sold me the bike. Discovered this after taking the bike to Mexico. Never assume the mileage showing on a bike is correct, use other methods to determine wear and usage. The speedo works but is out about 5 MPH at 60 but where I live nobody gives a f*ck how fast you go. Just bribe the traffic cops 5 bucks and move on. Happy bug eatting!!!
