So I've heard that cops give bikes a little bit more leeway on speed because the speedometers are sometimes off and harder (if not impossible) to properly calibrate. (don't know if it's true, don't care. I am just saying what I heard. Don't flame me for that comment.)
I do know that I was riding the other day and went past one of those "This is your speed" speed traps, and the blinking light said my speed was 41 (I was in a 45 zone)....But my speedometer said I was doing 49. So I figure my gauge is about 8 miles off. My brother has a GSX-R 750 and his speedometer is off too, but he said something about a "speedo-healer" or some other gadget. (never heard of it before.) Is there a way to re-calibrate my speedometer, or am I pretty much out of luck? If it is possible to re-calibrate it, does anyone near me know how, and would be willing to do it?
Thanks for your help.
