Correct milage reading?

[prudolph]

Im not exactly sure how to search for my question. if its out there can some one point me in the right direction.


So I know monsters tend to read the MPH a bit off. mine in particular is about 5 mph over.  so does this mean the milage on the bike is significantly higher then what it is suppsoed to??

Idk where I saw it but it's some sort of major law that odometers need to be accurate, while more variance is allowed in speedometers.


AKA, your mileage on the odometer should be fairly spot on.

I don't know how true that is, but I also read the same.

Where'd y'all read that?

The internets?

'Cause if so, it's definitely true.

"The NHTSA doesn't regulate odometer accuracy, and the only industry standard is a voluntary one set by the Society of Automotive Engineers that says odos should be within +/-4%."
