jdels 106 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 For those who have checked speedo vrs. GPS how different are the two? 2004 F7 -- 105 speedo 103 gps 2018 Zr8000-- 114 speedo 104 gps Gotta say I was a bit surprised yesterday on the ZR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnstang 872 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 My z1 turbo was 1-2 mph off at 120mph. Zr900 and all my other analog speedo sleds is about 10% off I think my sp500 was close, within a couple mph at top speed. Haven't checked the high country, your zr results make me curious although I never look at speed anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mag6240 1,751 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Checked My ‘16 Pro-S at only 60mph and gps was reading 57. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZR6000RR 85 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 All my 600's have been within a mile of my GPS. You do have to let them run for a bit at speed to get a good reading and to eliminate the spinning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZR6000RR 85 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A little faster than that crabby. 102 on my speedo. 101 on GPS. Two years ago on my 20 on about a 6 mile wide open lake run. Faster than your Polaris still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My 19 600 limited has not seen above 96 on it the speedo one time and is normally around 94 so I find that hard to believe. On basically glare ice my 18 800 would bounce 111-112 on the speedo and was always 107gps in those conditions. Any type of loose or packed with loose top that thing was constant 98mph gps. My 22 800 I hit 103gps on packed snow I didn’t even look at the speedometer because of the shorter lake and I knew the gps was going but I’m guessing it said 105-107.

Run it for 6 miles and I bet you will get some more speed. One time deal for me. I probably wont see 80 mph anymore. As I age, I have been getting smarter. More to life than 100 mph. Prefer to see the scenery around me now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a huge issue but it does make me wonder if they can be calibrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
