For those of you with speedometer correction devices, what number do you use to make it read accurately? (With stock sprockets: 16/42)
I've loved my FZ6 since I bought it last fall, but I was horrified to learn that when I thought I was sticking to the speed limit I was actually going 5 mph or more below it. I guess being an analytical chemist makes it difficult to handle knowing your speedometer is so far from being accurate. That and being passed by grannies.
So I did some research here and in other forums and decided to buy a SpeedoDRD. After COMPLETELY blowing my wife's patience for "just one more time" I settled on a factor of -4.5%. The correction is linear, at least from 40 to 70 mph. But I've read posts where some claim the correction is 10% and that it varies across the range. So I thought this sounded like an interesting poll. Though the acctual correction is a negative number, I've listed them as positive.
