Gen I US bikes have a known speedo error of around 9%. I also put a Speed-O-Healer with gear indicator on my 2012 Super Ten. Gen II US bikes are almost perfectly accurate on the speedo, but Canadian and EU bikes are still off, though usually only 3-5%.
Apparently Yamaha USA listened to our bitching and got something done about it for the Gen II bikes. Yamaha Canada couldn't care less, because everyone knows you Canadians never leave the country, right? (Someone needs to clue your DOT guys in about dual km/mile needs too, but then you still let the Quebec'ers get away with single language French signs when the rest of the country does dual language signs..., so you have a big problem with standardization.)
