Default Gearing question?

If you gear your bike up or down is there a way you can adjust your speedometer so it reads correctly? I just bought a 95 F3 that's (geared up i believe) and the speedometer reads faster than i am actually going. Is there anyway you can adjust that, or do you just have to return the sprockets to stock?

You can buy and install a speedohealer. It will allow you to correct the speedo from things like when you change sprockets. From what I've seen they run anywhere from $100.00 to $125.00

if you don't do that approach, I would look into getting the f4i gauges and going from there.

Stock gearing is 15T front and 43T rear. The speedo pick up is located just above the tranny if I remember correctly.

The F2's speedometer was gear driven off the front wheel. The F3's use a speed sensor located just to the rear of the Starter above the transmission. Since the speedometer is electronic, and not mechanical, the SpeedOHealer can adjust the displayed speed.
