Re: Speedo, Gears, Ratio Help!

Is New Zealand in kilometers or miles? In Canada we read in kilometers and I found after switching from 3.73 to 3.07 ratio that all I have to do is double the miles to convert to kilometers.

Re: Speedo, Gears, Ratio Help!

Sorry should of said, from Summit I got the bullet gear housing and the plastic gear. All TCI products. Probs paid a few dollars more but summit seems one of the easier websites to order stuff for me.

In Cali for a week, first time in the States so looking forward to spotting a few sweet rides while i'm there haha

Re: Speedo, Gears, Ratio Help!

Just got back from the US and installed my new plastic brown speedo gear and bullet housing.

My speedo is still out, looks like it's closer, but it's still out about 10mph.

The needle jumps slightly, would it be the speedo cable that's causing the incorrect speed reading?

Cheers,
