under recording of mileage

I was not particularly happy with what my mpg calculations were indicating and so remembering what Dave had mentioned about an approximately 10% discrepancy of speedometer/odometer based on a kawi front pulley and the 140/90-15 rear tire, I decided to verify this discrepancy. I just finished my second comparison of odometer vs. gps tracker and have confirmed that the discrepancy (under recording) is actually just over 13%. Just a fun fact for the day!

So at 60 mph indicated you would be doing around 69 mph?

Yep, about 68 mph. At indicated 70 I am actually doing 79 mph. I am assuming this would hold true for all other savages/S40s that are modified in this way.

But it constantly changes as your tire wears.

So when I'm getting 50 mpg , really I'm getting about 56 mpg. That's about where the numbers usually fall.

You're right MM. I guess I am getting pretty good mpg.
