Reply With Quote5 mph off at what speed.its normal for the speedo to be off any where between 3-8 percent on most bikes.
ok i was riding to day with one of my friends and my he says my speedo is off by like 5 mph. what would cause this?
the bike is an 03 xb12r with an 06 engine. so im sure its something i screwed up in the engine swap... where should i start the trouble shooting.

i dont think 5mph is a huge deal on a bike i think ive read tire wear can cause variations of +or-5
ok well now that i no i can just go 10 over all the time. i figured i must have screwed sumin up with the speed sensor or something like that

Maybe your friends speedo is off.
Different manufacturers will set their speedometers at different settings. If you are able to mount a gps to your bike somehow and ride see how fast it says you are going. I don't know how accurate these are, but it is a way to test.
well its deff off by more that 5 today. my friend said we were doing 48mph and my spedo said 60. i think ill try to find a way to mount the gps and go for a ride.
i no his spedo is right ive followed him in my truck before and it was all good.
is there anything that i should look at to maybe calibrate orr am i just rely going to have to deal with it.
maybe you could pull the needle and try to reset it. i had to adjust mine when it changed the dash plate.
