Sorry guys, but this is my biggest beef with the Bus. And as my lady says, no wonder you have the fastest bike on the planet.:">
I fitted a Sigma digital speedo to the Bus a couple of weeks ago, cause I knew the original speedo wasn't to accurate. Exactly 10% out across the whole dial. Suzuki refuse to do anything about it. So think of this, when you crack the magical 300, you're really only doing about 270, not bad, but not 300. I noticed on a couple of rides too, that my distance travelled between fuel stops was actually upto 15k's less than some of the other Bus's at around 220k's, so make's you wonder just how far out some of the others are.
I've just clocked up 11000k's, but really, it's only just under 10000.
So maybe the extra $$ for the yellow box, which I believe you can remove to take to your next bike, it $$ well spent. I spoke to a couple of instrument people about having it re-calibrated, they replied, yeah, I'll have a go. Sorry, not reassuring enough for me, especially if they stuff it.
BC, can you check with the guys that do the HWP cars to see if they can positively and successfully do the Bus speedo?????
Anyway, that's my coupla hundred words worth.
