Just wondering if anybody else has noticed a change in the speedo while in 6th gear on a 6 speed rev-tech tranny.
Bike is a 1998 FLSTC(Heritage Softail Classic).
Speedo seems to be on for 5 lower gears but put it into 6th and look over at car speedo's and I'm doing 7 MPH faster than what bike speedo reads.
Didn't think the gear ratio would affect speedo but wondering why this happens.
And yes, the state trooper was wondering why I was in such a hurry.
73 in a 55. Thought i was going 65ish.
Thankfully Judge dropped it to a less than 9 over (go to court. Don't just pay it. Hopefully cop won't show up).
Thanks
