Is it possible to calibrate the speedometer on an oilhead R bike? I have seen many methods for doing this on K bikes.

It depends. In the engineering world, we call that "tolerance," not error. Kinda like those exit polls that have a range of confidence.Mr. Frank said:Wouldn't that be an 11% error? That's a tad high isn't it?

Paper said:I tossed my GPS in my tankbag to do a speedo test on my R1100R and was amazed with how accurate it was.
It was never off more than 2 mph at speeds between 20-100 mph..
It was worst at 30 where my speedo showed 30 and the GPS was at 28. At 100 it was only 1.3 mph off..
This was with my Magellan SportTrak Pro with WAAS...
Paper said:All speeds were actually held for about 15 seconds as I glanced back and forth between the two to make sure what I was seeing would be correct.. OK... At 100 I might have been in a little more of a hurry than 15 seconds..
