Title: Speedo misaligned Fix?? Post by: vt duc on May 10, 2008, 11:38:14 AM Hi All,
I just noticed that the speedo on my 2006 S4R was reading "high" by almost 8+ MPH thru the whole range. Then I noticed that at "rest" it reads 8 MPH @ a dead stop. Which is to say it doesn't seem to return to rest at 0 like it should. Has anyone experienced this and is there a reasonable fix to readjust the gauge needle? Thanks Dan Title: Re: Speedo misaligned Fix?? Post by: Zaster on May 10, 2008, 12:46:44 PM My wife just read the subject and thought it might be about
a swimsuit mishap ;D Title: Re: Speedo misaligned Fix?? Post by: ScottRNelson on May 10, 2008, 01:04:50 PM You should feel lucky that it's only 8 mph. The speedometer on my 888 is off a full 20%. If it says I'm doing 100, I'm really doing 80.
The only thing I know of is to send it somewhere like Palo Alto Speedometer and have them calibrate it. Title: Re: Speedo misaligned Fix??
