that is about what mine is off. 2-3 mph. 4% of 70mph is 2.8 mph which roughly what mine is. How did the power vision correct it? I’m not up to speed on all this computer stuff. I just it to start when I push the button and then get me home.

It was the first service and I thought I would let them do it as there was lots they would do, ha! no! oil and filter, did not even remove the air filter, its so mad. My bike will not bee there again unless its a recall, I can d the job and a better more thorough job to boot.

Mine has always displayed 5 mph faster than actual......easy peazy.....I just ride about 10 mph faster on the speedo. That means I'm only going 5 over the speed limit PLUS the extra 5 mph "fudge factor" the cops typically allow. that works for me.
