Odometer mileage way off?

J-May · 11-30-2017, 06:47 PM

So i just recieved my boom 125cc after getting it running did a few laps down the alley and side streets to get a feel and test everything out. didnt go far and put on about 4 miles. a few days ago went for a first ride racked on a whooping 12 miles. didnt really go far, to the gas station, and a few other places. and came back. total miles up to 16. which i thought was weridly high,since i stayed in town. went on google maps and mapped out my path to the best of my memory came out to about 8 miles...

so tonight a mapped out a path for about 1.6 miles (actually 1.59) i get on my bike reset the trip and head off on the path, i get to were i started from and ..... trip reads 2.0 miles...

quite a bad thing to have the odometer reading 1.25 times the actual traveled mileage.

If anyone wants to test this out for me on their bike please do so and post your results.
