Do any of you have a notion how indicated speed on the speedo relates to real speed? Is there a significant speedometer error?
When I got mine I checked it out on one of those speed camera trailer things.
It was off by about 10% just like all my irons.
A few weeks later it was all I could do to get 30mph out of the bike and after that the speedo just quit.
I found the screw connector on the back of the speedo had come loose so I tightened it and it's been alright since. I haven't checked it out since then so I don't know if the cable was loose when I checked it the first time.
Never saw that before that a loose cable would read slow. Usually just work or not work.
I was riding my Triumph to work last year and looked down at the speedo and it said I was doing 90. I gave it some gas and the needle went all the way past 120 and stopped at the pin. At the next light it went back down to 0 and when I took off it was over 100 when I shifted into 4th.
On the way home it didn't work at all. My 3rd 120 dollar speedo drive in 6 years.
Yup, love my Enfields! I can subtract percentages in my head as long as everything else is working.
