Mine is a little fast but not so bad as my buddy's Kawasaki - I was wondering why he wasn't keeping up on the highway until he said he didn't want to go 75 with his wife on the back - but I was only doing 65-70 ! Some day I'll break out the power vision and fix mine for good. Joe

Most (all bikes I've had) are off, regardless of the manufacturer. My Road King isn't as bad as other brands I've had. I just adjust for it. Mine is not a percentage, it seems to be a constant 4 mph fast.

Everyone talks about being X mph fast...
At what speed?
It is a percentage, not an exact MPH.
Mine was 4% high, meaning at 25 on the gps, I showed 26, at 50, 52, at 75, 78, and at 100 on the GPS the bike showed 104.
I have a PV2, so I went in and raised the PPU number 4%, now it reads dead nut with an external GPS.

does your speedo say 'certified' on it? in my (limited) experience, if it says certified, it's pretty accurate. otherwise, slightly off.
