I know my speedo is out by about 4MPH, but i would imagine at brief moments of the big grin facter :smt003 a 4MPH speedo difference with the police would not matter :smt089

At 100 on the splatnav my Falco reads 102. It's always within 1-2mph.
At 100 splatnav the kwak shows 110 on the clocks. It under reads or over reads at all speeds.

I was considering humility

I was considering humility along the lines of :
I'm glad you stopped me officer as despite the lunatic grin on my face even I have to admit I was riding like a twit :smt003
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I would be checking things then....

I have done some extensive testing of my falco, on a private track, using a 1/4 run with a satnav

I found the falco clocks very accurate up to 90mph - even at an indicated 110 the actual speed was close at 106 iirc....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
