How can you tell when Shes Faking it?

I got just this problem with the Pajero - it's got bigger tyres than standard,so it's gunna read slow - but how much slower.Sometimes at 100km I'm cleaning everything up,other times it's me getting cleaned up.I even tried tailing a cop when I was showing 90kph - good oh,that's it then.but then the cars start passing him! damn,I just won't find out till I get told....in writing.

[QUOTE=White trash]At a recent speed trials on a closed Wairarapa road, I was timed for the flying quater at 263kph.

The fucken speedo was reading 280+! Ripped off, I want my money back.


On the same trial my speedo was indicating 220 , Yet timed run was 240 km.
At that speed can't say I was too worried about the speedo.

Is she fakin it ?

Bike computers are dead accurate if you set them up right. Their sampling rate is slow though, so the readout doesn't increase as quickly as your acceleration.

I've always thought that my speedo was a bit out (like 3-4kph) but always kept the bike around 60kph to avoid getting more tickets.

Well got hold of a gps unit and took it out on my Suzuki FXR150and was shocked at the results.
When my speedo says 60kph the actual speed is 50kph that's out by 20%. So when I'm think i'm doing 60kph i'm actually driving like an old granny at 50kph

I can't believe they let bikes into the country with speedo's that far out

Well i was just out with Milky, and we found one of those speed signs which tell you how fast your going, so ofcourse we are young and stupid, so went past them at speed......... Milky got about 143kmh...... So I went up the hill, and gave it shit, i was doing a solid 185-190kmh........ And was very dissapointed that it didnt pick up my speed ......

Then we did the smart thing.... and checked our speedos...... I did exactly 100kmh...... and it read exactly 100kmh where milkys was reading 94kmh at 100.......

I taped my GPS onto the bars of my GS and like bgd at 100km the GPS read 90 and at 110km on the speedo the GPS was 100km/hr
