Finally got a working speedo for the first time :D The new worm thing works a treat. Only thing is im traveling at 140kmh in 5th gear... didnt realise my bike was so fast...

Guess all of you with 17" wheels have the same super fast bikes as me. Is there a rough speedo marker for the correct speed. I know LT to a conversion for kmh/mph, but couldnt see a 17" conversion sticker.

I have searched the site. Honest.

do you know anyone with a sat nav ? - I plan on using one, taping it somewhere and just seeing where the speedo is when I get to 30, 50, 70 etc on the sat nav as they are supposed to be quite accurate and marking it on the speedo with a yellow line ... when I get the XR rebuilt ..:o)

Darn good idea spokey!!! Yeah i have a cheap satnav but it seems accurate. Might give that a go.

I'll double check when im next out on a ride with the big boys 8-)
