So does this mean I'm actually going backwards at stop lights? And is this why cars are always tailgating motorcycles?

Re:Speedometer is not calibrated 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
O.K. Guys... Nobody else is going to ask, so I will.
The Speedo/Odo is electronic. Why Can't it be dialed in to be accurate?
You could re-calibrate the old mechanical speedo/odo's.
So instead of being able to adjust the thing to be accurate, we have to put $100+ in another guys bank acct.

Wherz all of those 'pesky Hackers' out there? (No offense guys, but you are pesky)

Re:Speedometer is not calibrated 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
My new SpeedoHealer arrived today. Took the SpeedoTuner out and put the Healer in. Set it for -11% without even starting the engine, and I'm good to go.

The Tuner went out to the manufacturer in the mail this afternoon... we'll see if I really do get my money back.

Next time I go by our local police radar sign with readout, I'll look down and see if I'm reading the same. Was spot-on with my other R*.

For those stressing about ~3% variance on a speedo, this is like worrying about what color bike is faster. lol
