10% high is normal on most vehicles unless it's GPS controlled, which is generally high end vehicles!baycat wrote:my speedo seems to be about 10mph to fast at high speed. any ideas as to why. thanks ken.

Mines on standard gearing, so if you think yours is, we could run them side by side up the A10 for comparison purposes if you like

Re: speedo seems way out
i tried mine with a satnav and at the ton the satnav was reading 94 

the older i get,the faster i was 

Re: speedo seems way out
Mine reads 100mph at 5,000 in top gear, no idea if that is 'normal' but it feels much less.

Re: speedo seems way out
I fitted a DRD speedo healer and set it with GPS. Now its bang on.
I convert it to read in KPH as the bike is MPH. Obviously to speedo has MPH still written on it. Somebody thought I was doing 200mph on one of my vids.

Re: speedo seems way out
mine is on std sprockets and is about 10% high compared to GPS.......... helps give some safety margin when [if] I am trying to adhere to speed limits or spot a camera.fabiostar wrote:i tried mine with a satnav and at the ton the satnav was reading 94
