help!! a scooter question.
ok so its nothing to do with sv's but my dad brought a yamaha cygnus x 125 brand new when the 06 plate came out from CMC motorcycles in cannock, the trouble is the speedo is correct ive follow'ed him up to 65mph and its **** on but when i went a ride out with him his milage counter is reading + 50%
 we did a 40 mile ride the other day and his counter had clocked up 60 miles? first i thought kph but thats not + 50% is it? and the speedo is correct  CMC is a big company and doesnt sell imports, any idea's daz. |

It could still be measuring the distance in km; that sounds within the margin of error.
Is it possible that they've changed the label on the speedo dial but not done anything to sort the odo? |

possibly, or maybe its like the k3 + sv's that can be switched over, maybe the odo needs switching to mph?
iirc 40mph = 60 kmh so a fourty mile ride = 60k ride i think

.kwak zzr , is the speedo mechanical driven or electronic . Either way you can check to see if there is a converter attached to either the cable or wires. Cheers Ben

Oh ..... 1km=0.625miles
So 60 km = 37.5. miles Therefore if his Odo is reading 60? and he only did 40 miles then it is safe something is not quite right. Innit
