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?

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.

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,

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

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

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

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
