Don't trust the speedo on your bike, they are notoriously inacurate and can easily be showing 10% or more over what you are actually doing - especially as you get towards the top of the clocks range ____________________ I spend all my money on bikes and beer, the rest I simply waste! |

I got my Dad to follow me today in the car because I believed my speedo has mucked up, I was travelling at 30MPH and my dad said I was actually going 25MPH.... ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

yea, I only paid $10 for mine in wallmart
But I dont really need to do 60mph and know that im actually doing 60mph. The only Speeds I need to know im doing is 30mph, and 40mph. cos thats the only speed traps around medway.
Yeh, ok theres the odd speedtrap in maidstone for 50mph, but I hardly go down their! ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

I have a bike speedo on my CG as most of the needle on my clock snapped off somehow and until i get a new set of clocks, i bodged a cheap £10 bike speedo from Halfords. Seems to be ok, lines up with whats left of the needle. Its blatantly not 100% accurate, but it will do for the time being.

As far as I know, car speedos are calibrated to 30mph and should therefore be most accurate at this speed, the faster you go the less accurate they become. As for m-bike speedos I'd assume the same calibration point is used. Push bike speedos will probably be significantly less accurate beyond about 30-35mph unless your prepared to spend a fair bit on them, the other catch with push bike speedos is that they might not be subject to the same legislation as motorised vehicle speedos and could actually under-read... leaving your number plate on a speed camera film roll ____________________ Every time I learn something new it pushes old stuff out of my brain!!! |

Digital speedos...How boring.

I've got a Sigma digital speedo. More useful than the stock dial as its in MPH. They reckon its accurate to 180mph, but obviously that depends how accurately you measure the circumference of the wheel.
For my final year project at uni, I'm designing a replacement dashboard (LCD Graphic Motec-style jobbie). The speedo sensor is accurate to about 20,000mph give or take a bit It can also be programmed for gearing ratios and mph/kmh. ____________________ '89 R/W/B NC30
