I know our speedometer isn't accurate and that a 240 helps correct the issue but mines seems to be way off. I typically do 5 over and usually dont have a lot of people passing me when I am in my car. When I'm on the Stryker it is completely different. I have to do 10-15 over to just keep up with traffic! Is this normal?

So to add to your data, cruising at 78mph yesterday on the speedometer revealed 65mph on the GPS (with the 210 tire). No wonder people were always flying past me!

Conversely, 65mph on the speedo was more like 60mph on the GPS. There's an exponential curve increase the faster you go. 50mph and below seemed to match my GPS fairly accurately.

I definitely do not like the fact that I have to guess how fast I'm going on the highway! Getting a speedo healer was no where near the top of my mod list but I think that will be next. I've been searching for this...does anyone know where the connector for the speedometer is located? On my R6, it was under the gas tank. I am assuming it's in the same place on the Stryker. Is it the standard "y" connector or something different?

Up here in Canada, its kilometres, which seems even worse. I was on the highway doing 120kmh or so I thought and everyone is passing me, since Im actually doing 111-112. Now that I have the gps hooked up I realize that I was indeed the slowpoke on the road for once. Guess I'll have to watch the speedo on gps instead of on bike.
Seems odd being that far off right from factory but better to be going slower than shown than other way round. Cops probably wouldnt buy it. Thats my motto - things could be worse. ;)
