speedo is out
 

the speddo is not working properly, when its showing 60mph im doing 80, also the milometer is out

is it possible to re-calibrte them?

Re: speedo is out
 

Sounds like the sprockets have been changed on your bike then (I'd guess, I don't know where a Blade takes the speedo reading from)

I know there are things out there called Speedo Healers, but I'm not sure exactly how they work.

Re: speedo is out
 

I assume that you are talking about the Blade. If the speedo drive is from the front wheel, the sprockets should not make and difference however if you have a different diameter wheel (larger) then your speedo may well run low. I can't remember if your bike had a 16" wheel as standard or a 17", even then if I recall the profile of the tyre was different so maybe that should not make that much of a difference that you speek of. If the speedo drive is from the gearbox/engine then the sprockets could make a difference as rigor has already stated. As for recallibration, I dunno. Good luck on finding a fix for it.

Just out of curiosity how did you find out? Hopefully not from the boys in blue.

it just felt faster than what it was reading, so i asked zombie jesus how fast he was going.

he was doing 80-90 & i was right behind doing 60-70

also just passed one of thesethings at the side of the road, it said i was doing 31, but the clock said 25

it looks like there is a sensor going to the front sprocket,

Re: speedo is out
 

right, my bike sprocket is 1 tooth smaller than standard,will it make this much differance? the speedo goes to the front sprocket.

Re: speedo is out
 

leave it how it is and if the old bill stop ya then tell them to have a go! its not your fault you dont know any difference:)

Re: speedo is out
 

i did think about that, but i dont think i would get away with it

Re: speedo is out
 

If it goes to your front wheel then forget about sprockets and gearing. It's probably like an SV running off 4 magnets passing a sensor. And sounds like one magnet is not working therefore reading 3/4 of truth.
Start learning your 1.33 times tables,
or break off another magnet & learn your 2 times tables,
or get it fixed,
or buy a Veypor to wire in instead http://www.veypor.co.uk/xcart/produc...cat=261&page=1
