Speedo inaccurate
billywingnut:
My speedo reads 35mph when doing 30mph, I say this because I pass a camera in my car each day which I'm using for comparison. Can anybody suggest a company that can calibrate it for me.

I have a similar problem . My 400/4 has a speedo from 350/4 in mph . But down here in Oz we are kms . So I go past the friendly check your speed camera at 40 mph thinking I am doing 65 kms but the camera says 56 very confused!

Never had a accurate 40 year old clock yet. Even on a modern bike I past a speed indicator spot on 30mph on the clock and the roadside indicator showed 28mph ;)

They are made to read high otherwise the manufacturer could be held libel in some accident or speeding cases . It's the manufacturers safety margin. Tyre size and wear also effects speedo accuracy. GPS ones are more accurate but then can be out when it come to taking bends and hills into account and need a clear view of satellites .
