My speedometer has been off since the day I got this bike. I hate having to do math in my head while I ride so while I had the dash apart to put LED backlights in I did the following mod. I used a black Sharpie™ to black out all the MPH numbers. Then I used one of the P-Touch™ labelers to make tiny "15 "25" and "35" labels. I placed the labels where the GPS indicated were the correct speeds. It looks a bit rough but not bad to me...  Jim P.S. I'm looking for P-Touch label tape with white letters on black. I'll replace these when I do... |

I never paid too much attention to my speed on my 50cc because you're always going too slow.  |

You will have to see the bike computer I installed on my scooter way back in '06, it takes care of that pesky speedo being out of whack.

I never paid too much attention to my speed on my 50cc because you're always going too slow. I was think about something like that on my MC13-250 speedo is off 25%, but I am getting so used to it now it wouldn't be worth the trouble!! The Chinese use the same counter an all their scoots without regard to wheel size. |

The counters may be the same I guess but the gearing in the drive down at the wheel varies. I found that out when I tried to swap a gear from one to another and the teeth were different on the spiral part.
