Speedo to read the correct speed.
Does anyone know of a device that you could put inline to the speedo so that it would read the correct speed that you are doing?

Simples
Fit a sat nav to the bike.... Ride at 30...50..70...take note of the discrepancy and apply it to your speedo.... Normally 10%.....fords are slightly higher

Re: Speedo to read the correct speed.
Yep, as Helicopter says, it depends a lot on what bike it is. Some more modern ECU/FI type bikes can have a 'speedo healer' fitted to compensate for changed gearing etc. Older cable-driven bikes are completely different, and a Satnav will give you the correct figure - then put stickers on the dial if you need to!

Re: Speedo to read the correct speed.
There are gadgets that are normally used to convert km to mile speedo. You can adjust the digital ones to read 100% correctly but it'll throw out the odometer read (which is normally 100% correct).
