Stock speedometer accuracy
07/20/16 at 21:18:15

Hi. 2014 S40, 3100 miles on odometer. Completely stock, including the tires. So how accurate is the S40 speedo? My son complains that I'm not keeping up with him but my speedo shows speed limit or a bit above. The Boy has an Intruder 1400 and a lead throttle hand, so I don't know how much to believe. My riding doesn't seem much different from my driving so I can't tell.

Along those lines. Is there an instrument cluster (tach, speedo) available for handlebar mounting on the S40? Thanks...

(varies with tire brand and wear)...

I think the accuracy varies from bike to bike.
