Im OK with analog speedometers being optimistic, but ever since I installed my first bicycle computer on a motorcycle more than 25 years ago, my brain can only accept a speed displayed as a number as the true speed within the margin of error achievable by the calibration technique.
I calibrated the bicycle computer to be accurate within +/- 2.5 meters on 1000 meters, by using T-shaped marks on the highway exactly 1000 meters apart, which were there for the highway police to calibrate their equipment. My current scooter has a speedometer with 2" tall digits and like all Suzuki's it was 10% optimistic, before the SpeedoHealer. Now it never differs more than 1 kph from my GPS. It's such a pleasure to be able to be speeding exactly 3 kph below the threshold for speeding tickets, without doing math on the fly. If it has a digital speedo, corect it. If it has a mechanical speedo, get a digital device which tells you the true speed. |

Fair statements.
Are you Canadian?

that will most likely happen because I feel lost without a tachometer and will probably add a digital dashboard display.

This seems to have lost traction with folks?

I wasn't aware of this option, and already installed the Speedo DRD.

Might look at this and offering it
I’m always on the look out for ideas and so on I’d be making it with the plugs ready to just plug and play etc Ok all done - check links if interested (also can just be a universal unit for other applications) http://chinariders.net/attachment.ph...1&d=1544944577 http://chinariders.net/showthread.ph...163#post296163 Last edited by NzBrakelathes; 12-16-2018 at 02:33 AM. |
