    Replacing the speedo questions

    My speedo has sucked the kumera at 40,000k on its second time around the clock. I have replaced it with a newer one that is reading 70,000k. Do I have to register tnis with VTNZ or anyone to keep the bikes records legit? If so,will I have to take the old one down to them? Will this cost me money and how much? Finally, does this have to be done imediatley,or can it wait for when the warants due in June?

    neh. they'll flag it automatically at change of ownership. it will come up with "speedo reading inconsistent and may have been tampered with", but still record what the fitted speedo shows.
    as long as you write it all in the front of your bible (haynes manual) it'll be hunky fucken dory.

    you dont need to do a damned thang. (you could always stick the new one in a drill and wind it back to 000 or, whatever your previous was...)

    As already said ... nobody in authority really gives a toss. And the VX800 wont loose any resale value either. (not that they ever had much to start with)
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    Thanks for your good reply...A momentary lapse of reason?

    Robinson instruments (I think that's there name) can adjust the odometer to suit the ks the bike has done and certify the job.

    there in Onehunga, Auckland from memory. Costs about $70.
