    Think I’m being ripped off
    When I go past any flashing speed sign that tells you what you are doing it’s always lower than the speed I am doing.
    Now the other day I went out with some one and his mileage read less than mine
    So it got me wondering if my Speedo is wrong I think I have clocked up 1500-2000 more miles than what I have done
    Is there anything you can do to rectify this?

    I wouldn't worry about it bazza. Most speedos read a little higher than the actual speed youre doing. I've always found mine do.

    It’s not that I’m worried about :eek:
    It’s the extra mileage it’s piling on
    And when I tell people I have done 200mph it’s wrong:rolleyes::p:p:p:p

    Those things are notoriously inaccurate. I followed a car the other day through a 30 zone - otherwise called Suffolk :mad: - it showed 29 for the car and 37 for me. My dash registered 30 and I was holding the same distance from the car whole time. Seen it happen several times even when driving.

    A 55 profile will make the speedo more accurate.
    Next time Bazza do over a 100mph and see if it will show a 3 figure number :D:D:D

    If you're worried about it get a SpeedoHealer or similar. If they don't do one for your model change your sprockets to get a more accurate result.


    Or stop worrying and spend the money on beer/petrol/tyres/fritters, and be content that this affects all cars/bikes etc, and 30 miles extra on 1,000 miles isn't worth raising your blood pressure for :D

    Couldn't agree more Mark :rolleyes: if only he'd have taken a leaf out of your book when boredom strikes instead of starting that thread ;)
