Is it possible to to recalibrate or otherwise sort the error in the speedo reading on my SFC (3172)?
Thanks for any help      Terry
 
Thanks Lothar, so there is definitely a calibration problem with the gauge?
How do others deal with it.
Cheers    Terry
 
Hi Terry,
I had my Vauglia re-calibrated several years ago in Sydney by a company that I believe no longer exists. Can't remember the name, TT something. Maybe the Sydney boys know more.
I did several comparisons with other mates bikes and it seemed pretty accurate with what I was comparing it with.
Talk to any of the instrument repairers, they should know.

Was that KTT instruments? They were in Croydon if I recall correctly. The owner retired, nobody took the business on.

BTW: I talked to Max Mahlmeister, a well known Laverda Owner and instrument rebuilder. He said that the gearing of the kilometer counter does work almost accurately on these Veglias, only they forgot to alter the adjustment of the needle showing the actual speed. This means, it is a relatively easy job regarding adjustment, but it really takes someone to have the right tools to a) calibrate and b) re-assemble the whole thing.

As said several times, I have put a GPS-System on my 1000 SFC and compared it to the actual reading and there is a difference of roughly 20% in top gear. in low end, it is even more (at 50Km/h, it shows just around 65km/h, so almost 30%).

I would let them adjust it to the km/h or mph you are mostly endangered to lose your license at.
 
Limits 40-110k but we have hope.....the Northern Territory; 6x the size of Great Britain, is proposing moving to a unlimited open road speed limit again.
Heaven...............
