Anyone have any experience with alternate speedometers for the Savage. Seen several Chinese on Ebay very cheap but unsure about the quality. Looked at KOSO and Trail Tech but money is a problem. Any idea who makes the RYCA cable operated version? Looks very familiar to some of the Chinese items.

Oops,

If you buy one of the Chinese speedometers make sure that you get one that reads in MPH.

Ryca has a speedometer that we know will work on the Savage / S40 and they have the correct length cable to fit it.

What I don't like about the Ryca speedo is that it goes to 140 mph. I'd like to find one that maxes out at 85.

Any gage should max out at twice the intended usage.
85 great if you intend to go 45 and never the max speed of 100.

My bike has never seen the high side of 70. 85 on the speedo is more than adequate for me. Besides, why buy a product that you can only use half of?

Not to me either ... I've had my S40 at 85-90+ before the front wheel gets an a$$ puckering wobble  Cheesy

At 65-70 she feels like she's about to explode. I can't imagine a top speed run!
