[QUOTE="Mr_Canoehead, post: 1447397, member: 86927"] I can confirm that my Cdn bike reads around 8% high, however the odo seems accurate. It's pretty easy for the mfg to not directly correlate the two since both are electronic. The manufacturers need to have an accurate odo by law but it seems like all the Euro manufacturers overstate the speed. I found this in a Globe and Mail article: Yamaha Canada probably uses the Euro spec instrument panel to get km/h (and the damn immobilzer came along for the ride). My BMW 1150GSA's speedo always read 10% high, so I changed out the drive gear from a different model. Now the speedo is right on but the odo is low by 10%, something I can live with, since I look at the speedo all the time and the odo only for service (and no, before someone asks, I'm not concerned about being criminally charged with odo tampering :)).
