before I put my Monster away for the winter, I replaced the speedo drive on the front wheel and the speedo cable. Now it reads too slow(about 15-20 mph), did I get the wrong drive unit? Is there any alternative(like recalibration)? OK give me an answer before it gets warm again!!
How do you know it's slow?
Ride faster.
OK, it's 15-20 mph too slow.
At what speed?
Is it less inaccurate at slow speeds?
Or is it just a 15-20 mph 'offset'?
Strange, since most speedometers indicate a speed that is faster than actual speed.
I suspect the OP got a drive unit that's for another bike.

I'm just guessing on the speedo error part, but my 23 mile commute is now about 18 miles. Is there a different speedo drive for my bike?(1994 900)
A cable is a cable. Your drive is wrong.
