Speedometer not correct?

[@sp3ak]

Just in case anyone is wondering I have also been through roadside speed radars before, used a different app on a different phone, and see the same results. 👍

[@ayreslewis]

cool bike love your vids

[@alexbrarens6980]

I would consider your speedometer pretty accurate. My moped shows 60 when Im doing about 42. Defently something wrong there. :D

[@Nuhi253]

I can go 30 and my morphed shows 90

[@toddlambert9441]

Been riding for over 40 years...honestly EVERY bike I've owned had ( on my 10th now-2024 GSXR750) speedometer error on reading too fast..put a speedo healer on and it works great! Actually looking forward to messing around with different gearing,knowing I can fix the speedo at will..shiny side up!!

[@SheLuvJerzy]

are you able to have an ECU plugged in at the same time?

[@Scythe_Voltage]

My 2008 cbr600rr is fine until I pass 30mph. The faster I go the further off it gets. On the highway it says I’m going 80mph but cars are slowly passing me so I just assume I’m going 65mph. And I have a stock sprocket because I know different sizes can throw off the speedometer

[@gregorygold8116]

My yamaha fz6r does this i think.

[@2clinks]

Tire inflation, tire wear and even chain and sprocket wear can be minor factors. Dual sports are usually way off. My DRZ400 you can calibrate it. Good vid, I'm curious if mine is off

[@sp3ak]

Good points indeed. I should have done a bit more research to go over some of the things that can cause it to be off. What you said can happen on a 100% stock bike. Thanks!

[@tommcnulty261]

i bought a 2022 sv650,when im doing 100kpm ,its actually only doing 93kpm.

[@Xachremos]

My speedometer is off by about 10%. If im following the flow of traffic of about 110kmh it will be reading about 122km/h. Feels super illegal

[@Niko_478]

great video sp3ak. always really fun to watch you.

[@valuedunicorn7848]

Hi speak ur my favourite youtuber

[@sp3ak]

Thanks :)

[@itsdavid261]

My 08 gsxr with cams and dyno tune lowered and exhaust pushing 135rwhp tops out at 183mph and that's bouncing rev limiter constantly on huge straight aways as far as my GPS goes 157 was my top speed and I believe it how can a 600cc 183mph

[@yannikn.2374]

Just came from MotoMadness and damn youre freaking nice!

[@sp3ak]

Well sometimes 😁 thanks for coming by

[@totalradicalness]

Just got a fz6r and it's probably like 10% higher than I'm going. Scared the shit outta me when I saw the numbers

[@Ma7hew]

My moped speedometer shows 20mp/h when I am doing like a 45mp/h.

[@2wheellove201]

Mine is doing the same thing have u found a fix

[@bryanbond3886]

I have a 2018 suzuki gsx 250 r and mine says 75 but actual is 70. I hate it I wish it read accurate

[@MatthewWilliamsCFDEV]

The VTX is pretty consistently 10% after the first 10MPH or so.

[@sp3ak]

But high.... or low...?

[@MatthewWilliamsCFDEV]

Hi. The Magna reported low, but I blame faulty components there.

[@sp3ak]

Odd. I'd rather have Speedo high though. I'm trying to be a bit more cognizant about it though, I'm not really in a rush it's just hard to drive slow sometimes 😁

[@TekMoliGy]

mine is about 10% fast. when it says im going 70 im actually going about 63.. and so on down the line so when im going 30 im actually going about 27

[@Niko_478]

don't know how much mine is off but i'd assume like it's showing about 5-10 km/h less than it really is.

[@sp3ak]

Certainly worth checking 😀

[@Niko_478]

yeah. well it's just one of those street legal dirt bikes. since i can only legally own up to 125cc currently. gonna get a proper bike like next year or something.

[@Niko_478]

but yeah gonna have to check soon or then i'll have to wait like 7 months for the winter to go xD

[@hata2249]

Yay my prayers have been answered

[@jimperry4420]

I have the same bike, 2018, and mines off also. Always shows higher.

[@sp3ak]

Interesting!

[@leftspeaker2000]

I have a 2017 Gsx250r and when I'm doing 60 it's doing 54. It's annoying.

[@ivia7vgo]

My zx10r goes 10miles under! So if i go 50 im really goong 40

[@rick7884]

I ride a Gsxr also and I have had 3 of them and never has my speedometer been off at all. They have been exactly spot on with all my bikes. I would have that checked if it we're me and fixed cause it should not be off at all.

[@sp3ak]

That's cool. I've looked on a forum for my bike and several others have said theirs reads high (as much as 10%). I've found some articles online saying that they just read high sometimes and it is what it is. I may ask my dealer at some point but I doubt they will do much for me.

[@taffy67]

My moped is reading 50 but actually doing 26 ,what is the app you used to check your speed on your phone please

[@curtisaitken7027]

Ask your girlfriend/wife/mom about vanity sizes. (It’s the same as saying your are packing 9 and really it’s 6.)

[@moif]

My R1200 definitely reads suuuuper high. :D

[@sp3ak]

I think you're suuuuper high.

[@ryanlocklear5353]

I’ve seen your videos at Motomadness sp3ak

[@sp3ak]

Cool! It's fun to be featured there but usually it's not for good reasons, lol.

[@brewsteraviation1159]

your bike is nice bro!

[@sp3ak]

Thanks 😁

[@brewsteraviation1159]

Messages me please

[@freebehindbars8654]

Came here looking into speedo’s being off. Stayed bc I once owned that exact bike. Well worth the money I gave, but rough around the edges. What did you end up getting after?

[@sp3ak]

Ended up with a 2017 Yamaha Fz-07. While I do sometimes miss the power of the GSX-S the FZ is better suited for my current riding style.

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@sp3ak A lot more fun bike. I never connected with the GSXS. I’m stuck on Triumph’s and KTM’s. Something about European bikes.

[@goodtimes560]

It's common knowledge that the speedo reads incorrect, if you disagree 🤷 each his own... My bike reaches 184 mph as all 1000cc bikes, but are we truly going that fast.. NO.. To brag to friends an strangers this is how fast I can go.. past 💯 is illegal everywhere in the USA.. So just having a 650cc/600cc/750cc/1000cc bike it's able to double the legal speed limit.. Bragging badge just having the bike😪 So for those that don't do their homework an just throw numbers out, are clearly mistaken.. mad props getting every thing you can get outta your bike, but be real an acknowledge that what you see on the speedo really isn't how fast your actually going #noharm 😏😂🤣 side note: when I first started riding, I'd pace next to cars on the highway trying to see their speedometer to see how fast I was actually going🤣 that's when I started to clue in!! Four speeding tickets later😥.. sp3ak nice vid🤘 still going to get critics #PartOfTheGame!!!

[@sp3ak]

Good points. I haven't gotten a ticket yet so hopefully by knowing my real speed I can keep it that way 😁👍

[@SpeedieMetalGamer]

My friends truck always say 10 over of what the real speed is

[@sp3ak]

So fasssttt!

[@FullXThrottle]

Just got a new 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500. The Speedo is definitely off. It shows I’m doing about 10% more than I actually am

[@taquanevans6335]

Your in Durham, I stay in durham too

[@taquanevans6335]

Well ion know if you stay in durham but I seen you ride past central in a video

[@sp3ak]

Yeah I live in Durham so that's where most of my videos are 😁

[@taquanevans6335]

sp3ak I knew it 😂

[@gratefulmind40]

Speedometer what a funny name here in germany its just tacho :) Greets

[@sp3ak]

For us tacho refers to tachometer (engine revs). Cheers 😁🇩🇪

[@rickmauer1987]

Be careful speeding on 147. Cops are always tucked away somewhere. Stay Speaky Sp3ak

[@sp3ak]

Yeah, on 147 and 40 I just try and flow with traffic, which is usually going pretty fast, lol. 147 is such a mess with all the construction right now, especially Highway 55.

[@xiso3661]

What camera do you use men?

[@sp3ak]

Hero 4 Silver in 1080p superview

[@terhelfra]

Because speed radars every vehicles read a inferior speed. Real speed and read speed always different. It's normal. It's more safety to drives don't pass the limit.bye. Stay well.

[@DivergentDroid]

In truth ALL speedometers are off. Everything effects it, weight, tire pressure, time of day, warm or cool tires, humidity and I'm sure a few more I'm missing. I LOVE my phone's speedometer and GPS functions that I use with my 150cc scooter. Look for the apps that say they work Offline and instead of a cell signal they will work off of your phones built in radio wave functions, no cell signal needed. This is Great because you can use any ole phone for GPS and or speedometer. One of my phones is a used 80 dollar Figo with a 5.5 inch screen used for GPS and the other is a 30 ZT Jasper 4 inch screen I use for speedometer/trip counter. I currently don't pay for cell service.

[@TheMattManTN]

Hmm. Going to check mine. OR maybe I shouldn't . LOL

[@sp3ak]

Knowing is half the battle!

[@Toinnmann513]

Mine is definitely off by 10mph

[@bros4ever_896]

Random question, do you live in Nc?

[@sp3ak]

Yah, dirty Durham 🐂👍

[@bros4ever_896]

Same

[@sp3ak]

Nice, do you ride?

[@lucasinacio879]

Nice vídeo 😁

[@sp3ak]

Nice name. Thanks :)

[@georgestapinouski5761]

Im pretty sure my 2015 suzuki boulevard is off by about 6 or 7 miles an hour when trying to do 55. I recently did a 4 hour trip turned 6 because of that.

[@taquanevans6335]

I gotta subscribe now ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@xxkvmdarkxx8110]

Mine says I'm going 50 when I'm really going 35 😭

[@zacharyprosser4472]

[@moppepojken]

60 km/h = 50 km/h
