Speedometer Calibration

What is the most that a speedometer can be off by?

is 6mph too much?

also what factors are there for the speedometer being off?

Re: Speedometer Calibration (GSlowR)

gearing, tire diameter can't think of any others right now but those two things have a direct effect on your speedo.

Re: Speedometer Calibration (GSlowR)

Well my main concern is how much is too much?

cuz I got a ticket i need fixed and if it is only going to be 2mph off there is no point.. is it possible for it to be off by 6mph?

Re: Speedometer Calibration (GSlowR)

is it just of 6mph or does it gradually increase as you gain more speed?

Re: Speedometer Calibration (HONDApowerEXTREME)

I'm not sure.. but I'm almost positive it's off by a lot.. is it possible for it to get messed up if before my indiglo gauges kinda popped out and wouldn't let the needle move sometimes.. ie. it would get caught at a certain speed..
