I have a feeling that my speedo is off. Seems faster than what I'm going. Does anybody have any rpm match to the speed? Like 4000rpm equals ?mph?
Yeah. That's the way mine feels. People are passing me when I'm doing 80!Most report being off 5mph. Mine is much more at higher speeds. More like 10%. When I'm doing 80, I'm really only doing about 72 or so.
Frankly , Are you going to care if you are really going 75 when your speedo reads 80 and they are still passing you ? you need to go 85 then !
Yeah I guess what you mean. But sometimes I ride alone with no traffic & am a little worried about cop radar.Frankly , Are you going to care if you are really going 75 when your speedo reads 80 and they are still passing you ? you need to go 85 then !

Hello Clive , Are you finding that your speedo is reading a bit high too ?
Thanks! Good idea!Ok Kid , This is what I do : Use your smart phone and put on a tank bag that has a clear map window. Download a free speedo app to your smart phone. Put the phone in the map pocket while you start your app. Read off the speed when you are on the highway driving. Most speedometers read a bit high. Meaning you're going a little slower than the speedo reads.
