ya i got the speedo healer was just wondering if the stock odo was really off by -6.2% that's what the speedo healer calculator told me

why would it be off that much stock... thats weird

Mine is off by about that much, and it's stock.

when i'm going 32mph, the local speedtrap nails me at 30.

so that's 6.7% actual error.

i think there some sort of guideline for manufacturers, even cars, that says they have to overstate the actual speed of the vehicle in order to promote safety. I know that porsche overstates their speedo's by about 6 percent. That way when someone wants to blast up to 100 they aren't really going that fast.

just my .02

Alot of speedo's on bikes off by that much straight from the factory, unfortunately it's quite common.

I have a speedo healer on mine, and it's bang on. I actually confirmed this by going through a speedtrap the other day.
