Speedometer

I don't get this on a STOCK bike we will be rolling 80ish in a 65ish which is normal but 95 but even cars are passing us by in the slow lane going at leasttt a good 10mph faster that'd be over 90mph! What would make the gauges read like this? Both me and my buddies were reading 90 and cars were still flying by us. We're not geared up and we're brand new bikes... 06 600RR and 06 GIX6.

Re: Speedometer

honda speedos read about 2or3% faster than your rideing from the factory. Soo the faster you go the father off it gets. A -1 +2 gear set up will fix that

Re: Speedometer

You can't fix misreading on any digital speedometer. There are too many variables. You have tread wear, wind, rider weight differences, sprocket and chain wear etc.

Where is the speed taken from? if its like my bike (at the countershaft) you can throw everything but tire wear out the window, and even thats very minimal....rider weight? again very minimal...
