Speedometer/Odometer accuracy
Like most motorcycles... the speedometer on the VTX is off. However, rather then the typical 5% or so, it is 9.9% off. This prompted me to do some additional testing of the odometer as well. After a few rides it was determined that the odometer is 5.3% off as well! So the bike has less miles on it then the odometer claims.
Today, at 9770 miles (9253 corrected miles), I installed a solution... the SpeedoHealer by HealTech Electronics. Found a real good deal from someone selling one on the VTX forum.
Just got back from a test ride and the odometer is right on with my GPS reference! The speedometer is now only off about 4% or so, which is certainlly tolerable. At an indicated 65 mph, the GPS is claiming 63 mph. At indicated 80 mph, 77 mph.
