Stock cluster indicated MPH until 365 miles when I upgraded to the digital with tach that you have. I’m quite sure the milage is accurate. hours mentioned as a correlation with dirt bike use to add insight into wear observed on spindle.

The Hawk had a lot of wear, IMHO. While both stock and Honda spindles were the same (less than .01mm as measured with POS digital caliper 3x) the Honda had a slightly firmer and smoother feel going through the right side bushing - that nice solid feel.

After a 20-mile shakedown everything was still right and proper with a tighter feel at the pedal, but that’s probably a red herring or placebo talking.
