I used my wife's brand new car to clock my bikes speedo prior to setting up/programming the speedo healer to ensure i was setting it up correctly with the proper correction value , i also know wife's speedo is dead on from using GPS in her car. So maybe your speedo is still reading off a few mph or it was quite a bit off prior to installing the speedo healer. The speedo on my bike read approx 1.5-2 mph faster the my bike was actually going prior to inst 31t pulley and speedo healer. Scott my bike has a gps and I programmed the speedohealer to that. gps and speedo are now dead on.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294515 ricksstar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 75 Re:Fuel mileage 1 Year, 10 Months ago   how far off was it?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294519 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:Fuel mileage 1 Year, 10 Months ago   ricksstar wrote: how far off was it? 11.7% gps 53mph speedo 60mph mine was off by 5 mph but then i put a 31 tooth pulley and belt on and at the same time I mounted a rear tire that was a lower profile than orig which caused the extra difference. most roadies are at least 5 mph off from the factory. I would also venture to say that most foriegn bikes are the same. The only bike that I've seen dead on was the harley - I could be wrong but this is what I've seen   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/07/09 16:00 By greenpus.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #294520 Para (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Re:Fuel mileage 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Living in New Mexico you have open road and a long way to travel. I went to Santa Fe today traveled at 80 to 85 mph I got 35 to 40 mpg. This has been the norm for my RS. K&N filter, replaced jets, run straight pipes and replaced the rev limiter. It got faster but the gas mileage has stayed the same.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #294563 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
