If you changed sprocket, your speedo will be off.......the more drastic the change in size, the more drastic it'll be off. The only way to fix it is to get yourself a "speed-o-healer" unit to re-calibrate it.

Even stock is off, the only way to truely know (99.9% G.P.S. Accurate), is throw a healer on her!

10mph off at 40mph... and probably 30mph off at 120mph.

even with stock sprockets you'll have speedo error. i have stock on mine and i'm 10% off (10mph indicated = 9mph, 100mph indicated = 90mph)

everything has speedo error. even your car.

As Fly stated even with the 16 tooth your going to be off, bikes are 5-10 % off right from the factory, usually about 8%.
