tire change= speedo way off.
I switched from the stock 402's to some commanderII both being the same size. 130/90/b16. now my speedo is off by 10 mphs in 5 gear, less at lower speeds. Before the switch my speedo was right on the money.
so heres whats got me scratching my head, if I got new tires with more tread then what I had, wouldn't it cause my speedo to read lower then what it really is? so what the heck is going on? can I reset my speedo? its the first year of the lcd display. I did search but all the post are about the speedo going the other way. thanks |
I'm mean it's reading 10 mph then I'm really going.

How can you tell that your going faster than the speedo says?
|
What makes you think your 10 mph off. Unless you have access to a radar and someone to clock you as you go by, (or some other method of measurment) you have no idea what speed your actually going.
The difference in a few millimeters tread from worn down tires and new tires of the same size is hardley enough to make a 10 mph difference in speed in either direction. Let alone any difference you could tell by just riding the bike. |
Kinda like saying that synthetic made your bike run at lower RPM's. Not gonna happen......

There is a school near me that has a radar gun for your own info that tells you your speed when you should be doing 20mph. This is how I check my speedometer.

Well it says I'm going faster then I really am by 10 Mphs. Checked against my gps which it's always been inline with. Have had a buddy pace me and I've checked it with mile markers.
I'm thinking that the commanders II are a smaller diameter then the 402s. The bikes carb'd so I don't have a programmer. How can I fix it? |
There's a product named speedohealer that you can adjust your speedometer to a true setting using a gps...I had it on my '04 Kawi Z1000 when I changed the gearing to give an accurate reading.
I don't know if works for HDs though. |
