Where is that epic thread jpeg when you need it?!

Think the FJR could do it? I do. Maybe not 170 but it would certainly issue the spankin's until he got the point.

Hell, I'll even hang the sidebags, trunk and take a passenger along as a witness just to add insult to injury.

Hey CBR lyre guy, wanna lose that crazzy-assed bike of yours to a sport tourer? I mean, I need a winter bike. What say you?

Are stock speedo errors always on the high side? Anyone ever see them on the low side of the error?

I have a feeling 99.99% of manufacturers purposely have the speedo read higher than actual. I've never seen one lower, you'd have to do a crazy gearing change to get that affect.

The funny thing is if your bike has an electronic speed sensor that reads off a rotor on the counter shaft. As the rear tire wears the speedo is off more and more, change gearing, change series of the tires, etc.

Wow...I am not invisible after all

I only asked because twice last year people told me I was going much faster than my bike indicated. I don't know if it is my bike that is off or theirs. I would wager theirs...since mine is bone stock. Besides, I don't think I was really going as fast as he said I was.....but I did have a pee like a fucking race horse and just throttled up to get to the nearest pit stop.

I remember that!

lol, holy sh*t the board just talked!!! What?!?! Boards aren't supposed to talk!



It is possible, my bike has RC Component rims on it and that forces the back sprocket to no longer take a stock sprocket at all. Hub is too small, short of it, I run the same tooth setup as stock, however diameter on the rear sprocket is slightly different then the one that is stock (which confuses the hell out of me since the teeth have to be the same for the chain?!?!?! nonetheless, set it on a stock one and size is just a smidge different). The speedo sensor is in the front sprocket guard housing ("reads off a rotor on the counter shaft" as noted above). So it doesn't rely on actual wheel speed at all, it assumes a stock sprocket size and does the math. End result, I sometimes see my speed as slower then I am really going according to the lovely police provided radar boards and my friends bikes or cars when they are behind me.

*EDIT* interestingly enough...and if someone cares to explain this, please do, my guess is the sensor isn't doing the conversion linearly...the innacuracy makes the speedo show slower then I really am when I am between 30ish and 70ish. Above 70ish it starts going the other way were as noted, the speedo shows me moving faster then I am. Below 30 I can't really tell but it looks about right.

I was joking about the above comment. Guess it was a poor joke, or too vague *shrugs*

Who knows, everyones speedo is off high or low unless they have them corrected. The speedohealers are slick.

The thing to do is buy / borrow / use your own GPS and stick it in the map pouch of your tank bag and go for a ride to see what is what. A friend and I both went -1 sprockets on the front. I gotta speedohealer, he was too cheap. At 60mph actual he has 67-68 indicated

invisible? did you guys here someething? hmmm

It looks like it can do 178.

Wish my 1000 or my 1300 did 178...



WAIT! So what's an F4i capable of??

Aw Dude the F4i. Think about it. If a 10 some odd year old f3 will do 178, That means the F4i should go what 300? Mine wont go that fast though? Maybe its my sorry ass riding skills.
