Speedo question

[orionburn]

One of my winter projects is to get my speedometer fixed. Here's the deal: It's accurate up to about 20-30mph. Once I get up to higher speeds the speedo is reading faster than I'm actually going (I tested this out with a friend driving beside me). So, when I'm actually riding at 55mph the speedo will be reading 65mph, at 65 it's showing 75. Basically once you get to 45+mph it will reading 10mph faster than what you are actually travelling at.<br><br>Any ideas on the reason behind this, or where to look? The cable itself seems ok, along with the wheel attachment. Think it's just time for a new cable, or maybe a loose connection on the clock? <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:navy;">Nate - 87 FZR1000</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br>Have <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>you</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> seen my fairing?</p><i></i>

I genereally don't use my speedo. I gauge how fast I'm going by the sound of the engine. The way I look at it is, if I get over 6 grand in any gear, I breaking the law. Anything over a 100 and I'm going to jail (felony or wreckless driving).<br><br>Other than that, you'd need to take the bike to a Speedo Specialist, not just the clocks. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">There are some who call me........Tim?</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:white;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">Director of Entertainment <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://eddieandthecruisersmc.com" target="top">Eddie & the Cruisers</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--> <br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:blue;font-family:times new roman;font-size:small;">1994 FZR 1000</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><br>I find that the Excitement Level is in direct proportion to the position of the Needle on the Tachometer.</p><i></i>
