Re: Speed

Re: Speed
Found out mine was 7.3% too fast using sustained GPS readings at 60mph. Used SpeadHealer to compensate.

100 indicated is really 92.7 mph beforehand.

You can take off the front wheel, replace the axle and slightly adjust the forks up and down until the axle spins freely. That's how you adjust forks. The front wheel has a lot of inherent weight-force in it, and its easier to tell with just the axle. Have you checked your pre-load setting on the top of the forks?
