Rob, I've already sent you an e-mail about this, but now thanks to the Professor I know how to post my reply here on the list. According to what my GPS says, my Canuck KLR's speedo is roughly 10% out. 100 km/h indicated is actually about 90 km/h. Like you, I wish this was a bit closer to the truth. I wonder if the US models have the same prob, or if it is typical of our Metric speedo's. If anyone knows of a fix for this, please pass it on. Cheers, D.> much slower than my speedo registers. Any thoughts? > > Rob

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob, The front tire's overall height can affect the accuracy of the speedometer and odometer. A taller tire will lead to lower indicated speed & mileage. My USA-mileage is within 1-2 mph @ 70mph & my odometer reads 1-2% low. BTW, what's the Canadian distance term, kilometerage?
