Hi guys,
Very recently I compared my commute from home to office and back, between the Odometer of my RE 350 (19" front) and the C500 (18" front). And was surprised to learn that my C500 was showing more KMS as compared to the 350 for the same distance.
On digging in further, I came to know that RE has the same Speedometer cum Odometer unit for its Classic 350 (with 19" front wheel) and the C500 with an 18" here in India.
The difference in reading is approximately 9% higher on the C5. I have had one of the Speedometer replaced under warranty but without any change at all.
Has anbody verified the MPH Unit installed on US & European models for true reading.
If these are having over reading error then probably the gas consumption of C5 is not as good as we have been thinking all along
Cheers.
