Merry Christmas everyone. I am doing my Saddlesore1000 Monday and have been doing a ton of maintenance on the bike. Thank you Jaxx for the filter info. Getting it all set up to my liking. You know the NORMAL stuff ha-ha. I have been reading posts here about the discrepancies of indicated speed to actual speed and I wanted to see the peculiarities of my bike so I hung a GPS on it. Here is what I found for my 2012 S10.
At 70 MPH indicated the GPS actually shows 63.8 mph. But I have to hit 81 mph indicated to reach a GPS speed of 75. So this is well within the 10% margin of error the yammy engineers included in my package. *Joke inserted here..
I am wondering why with the known wheel sizes on the bike and that hasn't changed in I don't know....ever. And its in the 2000's why has this not been fixed?
I have a 2004 dodge ram and the speedo is spot on. Checked it with My local police dept on a few occasions cough cough. If a 2004 vehicle can be right why not a motorcycle?
Just the ramblings in my head. Have a Merry Christmas all and everyone be safe.
Good rides.
