never gave what is does to the speedo a second thought. Why the concern?
an incorrect speedo can lead to speeding tickets, but, I don't want to be smart azz, just helpful.
who started the thread anyway?
what difference,at this point, does it make anyway!

If you find yourself passing alot of traffic, slow down, wait for someone to pass you, then follow...
BTW, the oversize tires, lowers the actual mileage, on the odometer....

Think about it, your speed sensor reads rotations on the output of the trans, calculated with rotations of stock diameter tires, however if you are riding larger diameter tires=faster speed than what shows on the speedometer & lesser miles shown on the odometer, even though more miles are traveled.
Example:
Your speedometer shows 70 mph
Your actual traveled speed is 75 mph
You traveled 75 miles in an hour, however your odometer only logged 70 miles.
Example:
Your speedometer shows 70 mph
Your actual traveled speed is 75 mph
You traveled 75 miles in an hour, however your odometer only logged 70 miles.
