    Speedometer reads higher !!! any suggestions ?

    hey guys, I was riding today and my buddy was in the cage beside me, and we noticed that my speedometer reads 10 over, i was on the highway mine shoved 130, while his was 120. We also tested it at 105, mine was 115. any suggestions on what can be done, or why its doing so ?

    Thanks

    That's pretty normal. You're lucky yours only reads 10 over!

    Yep, pretty much!

    My 08 R6 brand new was 18km/h higher at a real speed of 120 (so when I was really doing 120 my speedo said 138!).

    Speedo healer FTW

    Don't take the other cars speed-o as correct either. Those are usually off as well. Borrow someone's GPS and calibrate it off of that speed reading.

    What type of bike are we talking about here. Some speedometers are electronically operated, others are mechanical by cable from the front wheel. If it is electronic then you can do the Speedohealer provided that there is an adapter kit for the bike in question. If it is cable, then you are just going to have to deal with it.
