[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 754683, member: 2163"] I ran up against one good reason to correct it. It is a psychological issue: you 'feel' that it is fast because the speedo says it is fast. When Honda had a problem with the software in the Goldwiong (it was causing the speedo to display about 50% LOW). Lots and lots of people got tickets - there was a recall - don;t know if Honda reimbursed their customers. Today, as I was riding up to the resort where CFR is headquartered, the person I was riding with refused to go faster than 8% below the max speed because HIS speedo displayed the max number. I tried to explain that it isn't what the speedo shows, but rather how fast you are going that qualfies you for a performance award; Didn't much matter. We rode slower than we might have. Now, if his speedo had been correct, we coiuld have gone 8% faster. [/QUOTE]
