Speedometers always read on the high side, somewhere around 10% too high. Not sure why this is the case but I think it is something to do with legalities.
i.e. if you are stopped for speeding you will not be able to claim your speedometer was saying you were doing the speed limit.
Not heard that odometers are wildly inaccurate but then how many wheel revolutions are in a hundred miles? Quite a lot I would think so I guess it’s hard to be 100% accurate. SCR, have you measured the bikes odometer against the GPS? I’m curious now what kind of difference you would expect.
