HAHA that's what I asked the service girl. She meant speedo, but if could convince the wife the only way to get an accurate speedo was to buy a new bike I might try that.

LMAO....... let us know how that works out for ya.......... :nervous:

I have noticed the same 2-3 mph difference between my gps and both our cars and my bike. I just figured that there is a difference in the way the gps calculates the speed and the speedometers. Oh well.

My odo is 4% off. Every 100 miles driven reads 104 on the odo.

Speedo is off about 3 mph.

So far my bike ran 800 miles less then the odo lies.
