I just picked up my bike (zx6r) from the dealer, I was having speedo problems. It was
way overestimating my speed, for instance if I was going down a local block
doing no more than 20 mph my speedo would indicate 50mph. The faster I went
the bigger the error.
The dealer ordered a new speedo unit, I looked over my bike and saw that they
didn't test ride it becasue the speedo had 0 miles and the trip had 0 as well.
As soon as I rode it down the street I immediatly knew the problem wasn't
fixed. My speedo indicated I was going 20 mph while I was barly doing 5mph
What can cause this? I have a spanking new speedo (thank the lord for an
extended warranty - the bill was $570) I checked the speedo sensor and the wires are all connected.
And its not exclusive to the speedo, the tach is sometimes off..
any ideas?
Cluth slippage
Chain / sprocket wear?
I don't want to bring it back to the dealer just yet. If I have to I will but
I have a feeling they will be asking the same questions
Thanks
Dave
