With modified wheel/tire combos (or possibly other things) you can change how fast you are really going relative to what the speedo says. That may be why it was off by 2-3 mph.

I was thinking that too. But my wheel setup was same size as stock. Tire setup was not much different.

Legally manufacturers have an in-built 'error' to their speedo, they have to read higher than the actual speed. So if a driver speeds and gets into trouble with the law, they dont have an excuse. At least thats how it goes in Australia.

@PatchedBandit5 ай бұрын
Would be cool If the user could set parameters themselves. Like measuring acceleration from 30kmh to 120kmh would more accurately measure bike performance as the initial start of a drag is too much down to the rider and not the bike. I would like to use this to measure performance differences between bikes and upgrades I do to some bikes but if every measurement starts from a standstill there is too much variables on each run to get believable and stable results.

The Dragy device needs to be placed inside one's car with a clear upward view of the sky. Up under the front windshield or even the rear glass if it's slanted enough. The instructions are pretty non-existant on how to use it but they do specify this mounting for it to work properly. Placing the dragy down inside the car where it doesn't have a clear and unimpeded view of the sky means it's likely not going to be accurate or function properly.
@NWAuto2 жыл бұрын
I did end up switching it to my dash just under the windshield. But I've done many runs with it on my dash and near the cup holders. The numbers I got never changed. But what you're saying does make sense. I'm sure the signal is gonna be better under the windshield

@@NWAuto I put mine in the rear window because in the front window there's nothing I want to risk putting adhesive on. In the rear there is some flat plastic pieces related to the child seat. Down the road the adhesive in the sun won't hurt that plastic. I do not want to afix to leather or a soft surface in my opinion. Plus plenty of glass angle to position to allow upward access. Also, I've heard from smart people that when and if you make a run and you might go under a bridge or anything that can disrupt coverage for even a very brief moment, it can skew the numbers even if small amount. Best to use in an open area with good access to sky so as many satellites as possible can communicate with dragy.
