Hey guys, haven't been here in awhile saw the discussion of speedo errors & decided to chime in. lol! I'm running a 17/46 sprocket with a Dunflop(lol)Qualifer 180/55/17 rear & a 120/60/17 front. So when I'm at about 9800 to 9900 rpms my speedo reads 175 mph. My conclusion is yes its off quite a bit, but how cool it looks reading 175. Dat's my story & I'm stickin to it! lol!
Ps: Hiya Steve & Pete, sorry for my absence on here. lol!

Nope no drugs honest Steve, just a very fast way off speedo. Gotta be at least 10 To 12mph off I guess. lol! But it certainly pulls strong for an old cow. Gets my attention every time. Btw did u hear my old blue flamer('88 cbr1000) is up for sale? Like I told Pete been thinking hard about buying it back. I can get it back for proly about $1000 to $1200. Gonna kick it around in my head for a bit. Barely have time to ride my '91 as it is now. We'll see. Well I'm off to make the doughnuts running behind a tad later Steve & sorry for my absence. I'll try to be a lil more updating on here. Take care & have a good one mate!

Just talked about this on the weekend. My son and I took a ride together Sunday. We gassed up, zeroed trip, and went out for the afternoon. When we got home I had gone 174 miles and he had 167. I have stock gearing on my '94 with 170/60/17 rear. Gps on another trip said 108mph when I indicated 115. I consistantly see 4mph high on the speedo when I pass the "watch your speed roadside radar" stations at 40mph.
