[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 481355, member: 2163"] Maybe that's why the warranty is unlimted mileage? :rolleyes: Actually, it is high by design - the law allows speedometers to be optimistic, but forbids them being pessimistc - as tire geometry changes, which is affected by the load on the machine, tire size, tread wear and tire pressure the absolute readings vary - so they make it a bit more optimistic to ensure they don;t go into the 'gray area' where the bike is going faster than indicated. The 1st generation machines' speedos were closer than Gen-II. If it bothers you, there is a solution, as I wrote the last time this thread was active. [/QUOTE]
