Dakota Digital and 30T speed calibration?
Happy new year,
I've searched the forum, used Google,read the instructions and looked on their website but the one thing I can't figure out just yet is how to recalibrate the speedometer for the 30T.
I have to input a new reading, faster or slower? I'm guessing slower since the 30T is smaller therefore spinning faster.
and then by how much? I remember somewhere on the forum reading someones comment that their speedometer was off by 8% or was it 8 miles an hour?
If I can't figure it out I'll call them in a couple of days after the holidays and post up their answer for anyone else that might want to know in future.
Thanks for any help/info.

The calibration is in the instructions, it is very simple.
The MOST accurate way is to use a GPS that gives a speed display, find a quiet road somewhere that you can ride for a couple miles and you can adjust the Dakota to match the GPS as you ride. I tried both ways and this was dead on accurate.
If you have a smart phone you can download an app that will give you GPS speed.

All Dakota gauges have an adjustment feature built into them, no need to play with codes, ride it at a known speed and adjust, takes all of 5 minutes.
