Speedo reading excessively high

[LiamBirkett]

I have the same bike as you and my speedo is also out. Its because the previous owner put a funny size tire on. You could pay a dude to put some new cogs and shit in but its about $100 from memory. I just have got used to seeing the speedo slightly out, and Im allways speeding so it doesn't matter anyway.

Perhaps ... it's a common problem with that model ...

You have a bad memory ... or ... you have no fucking idea.

It would be unlikely (or lucky) to have the correct cog ratios fitted (or actually available) to make it run true to actual speed on the speedo.

Knowing how much the speedo IS out in the various speed zones IS important.

The responsibility is on the vehicle operator to maintain legal speeds.

An accurate speedometer is NOT required by legislation. It is just required to WORK ..
