    Recalibrating speedos.

    The GXSs is out by 20k or so above 80kph. Anyone know of someone who can recalibrate them. Thanks in advance.

    I'll be following this one too....my speedo is high by 10k @ 100k. Front wheel drive cable.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Nah new cable. It's a replacement speedo for the wonky one that was on it which goes haywire after about 50ks of riding. That one was a replacement after the orig was damaged in a crash and has godzillion kms up and is well worn. I've checked the front wheel drive also. I've varified this by compary rpm on the tacho and riding with mates.

    The rg's out by about 20-25 over 100kph so i put a $30 bicycle speedo on it. It was real accurate until the magnetic sensor thing flew of at about 120... so now it just tells me the time

    Parrott E and Son down here (Chch) used to do it,but it might be a bit far for you to travel,they used to require the whole bike not just the speedo and if it was driven off the front wheel another bike to drive the rollers to spin the front wheel of the bike that was being calibrated
