Hello Everyone,
Ive gotten my 2001 Hayabusa registered and on the road finally after a lengthy dispute with the DMV. An issue that Ive come across though is it seems my speedometer is incorrect because I was constantly holding up traffic when I went for a rides. I paced alongside my buddies car with cruise on and it seem my speedometer is displaying about 10mph faster than Im actually going.
It seems pretty consistent at least. When it says Im going 40mph Im really going 30mph, when it says Im going 60mph Im really going 50mph and so on.
From browsing the forums it seems that the major solution is to get a speedohealer. But before I spend $100 on one, Id like to ask if there are some things you'd recommend I check out before diving into new parts? could the sensor need cleaning or tightening, or maybe my sprocket gear is aftermarket and the wrong size? that sort of thing. The bike is getting new tires soon so Ill be putting it on the lift anyway, might as well get in there and start troubleshooting.
I appreciate any help.
