ttownfj09 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Brand new here picked up my 2015 FJ 09 this afternoon and have put a grand total of 25 miles on it. I have a question, I tried a search with my limited computer skills and didn't find the answer I was looking for. My last bike was a 2006 Suzuki Vstrom and the speedometer was off quite a bit, actual 75 MPH was 82 indicated on the speedometer. In my search I saw 50 MPH was very close to being correct, whats the error at 75. Thanks Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 According to my GPS, its very accurate by motorcycle standards. ~1mph fast at 30mph and 2mph fast at 60mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 1moreroad Posted May 11, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 11, 2015 We have a couple of radar traps that show you your speed right next to a speed limit sign. 33 mph on the radar is 33 mph on the bike's speedometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy01 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Tested mine at 90 mph today and satnav showed 83mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 112 at indicated 115. I know that because the limiter is set at 115 and every time I get there the gps says 112. Slightly less than 3%.

db5304 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I use The Eat Sleep Ride app sometimes as I can track my rides when i remember to record. I have a GPS recorded 95mph and I'm almost positive my guage read 98 (I have yet to break 100 indicated yet). Thats a 3% variation on mine as well.

ttownfj09 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 I guess it is pretty close compared to most bikes I've owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted August 8, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 8, 2015 new Zumo reckons it over-reads by 7% when making progress This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixlox Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Your speedo is more in line with what mine displays as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest captrob73 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Does anyone know why motorcycle speedo's generally read high? I've had some motorcycles that were off by 6%, most recently was a 2007 CBR600RR that was off by 6%. The R6 & R1 I owned in the past were the same way. For comparison sake I have compared my cars & trucks speedo's to GPS and there always very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
