Hey, I have a question about the Very Optimistic speedometer on my 1996 Bullet 500. It shows 20mph higher than my actual speed, and this is ALOT of error. I could see 5-10mph, but 20mph? Has anyone found a good fix for this? I thought perhaps it was just gummy lubrication in the needle drive, as they usually 'float' when this happens, so I tried ye olde clockmaker's trick of a cotton ball with an aromatic oil like kerosene or mineral spirits, but I didn't have either handy, so I used Kroil for the light lubricant, and stuck the cotton ball into one of the lighting holes, and let it sit in the sun for a day. That helped the wagging, but now it is verifiably 20mph fast on the clock... Is there another speedometer drive available, perhaps off of a 21" wheeled model that would give closer to reality in the speedometer? I am not liking the fact that I have to do the RPM math (625*speed) to get my actual MPH in RPM. But, it is what it is lol. So, if there is any alternative to get an accurate speedometer short of buying a $300 Koso GPS unit, let me know...
