speeometer error

I like the idea of the re-done faceplate. Yes, I had a Vstrom too and some chap made re-printed gauge faces to correct the speed error for them. I remember the "healer" too. The Vstrom was waaay off, too. 15 percent on some cases. It was a heckuva bike, though. Quite a hotrod.

I had an 1150GS that was inaccurate as well but it was mechanical and all I had to do was to install a speedo drive from an R1150R model and that cleared everything up. I really dont know why the mfgs do this.

Anyone else have any suggestions of how to rectify the optimistic speedo on 1200S 's or any other late model BMW speedo, I guess.
