Speedo error - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

M50fromGunn · 04-29-2006, 01:11 PM

I know this has been talked about before but does anybody have a fix for a speedo that is out by 10-12%?. I thought it was out a little when everybody was passing me when I was doing 120K. I checked against my GPS and it seems like I am reading about 12% higher than I am actually going.

I called the dealer and they said it was a magnetic pickup but did not think it could be adjusted. Anybody with speedos out have any luck with getting this corrected??

Thanks

Good links Rowdyr.
But what is the story? Why cant they be fixed under warranty?

This is one of the most annoying things as I’m guessing what speed I’m doing which is pretty stuffed for a modern vehicle bought brand new.

Thanks for the link Rowdyr..
I agree with djump, but mes thinks that the bikes come with an allowable speed variance from Suzuki.
I will attempt to get a new pickup from the stealer ( they have been good so far 3 bikes in 12 months!) even though i doubt it under warranty

For the 119 bucks, It may be worth my time to order the speedohealer
