CB750 four K0 speedometer reset
Bryanj:
I remember arguing with a trading standards man over i bike i knew had had 4 speedos through accidents so mileage was not true, that eventually ended up with stickers on the glass of all sales bikes to shut them up

I don't know if my odo should be considered as over reading or under reading as the original stoped working at 80k I've done about 20k since owning the bike and the replacement Speedo has 26k on it.
Oddjob:
Exactly why I prefer to have replacements zeroed out. My first 500 has had 5 clocks, the first lasted well over 100,000 miles, then I had to fit another, so I had to mentally add the 2 together to work out its true mileage, then again when I fitted the 3rd and so on. The 500 I’m currently restoring has had at least 3 speedos, the last 2 being of the 550f type. So I know the total mileage, this time all I need to do is add whatever is currently on the clock to the total and I’ve got the correct figure. Far easier to keep check on oil changes etc.

I have always disregarded the odo on any vehicle. If it runs well and I want it I buy it.
My aprilia has it's original Speedo but the milage is wrong as in my ownership it has snapped at least 3 Speedo cables and I'm always incredibly slow at changing them.
I've always thought an hour counter like on planet machinery would make more sense. Distance is irrelevant
