Got the most recent factory flash at my 5k service. Drove about 50 mi to the shop doing 80mph (mostly), tach read 4 grand. On the way home (doing 80mph) the tach showed 3700. Anyone else experience this? | ||

I am thinking maybe the TPS reset would have something to do with that. | ||

Headwind there, tailwind back? | ||

Thanks O2, that makes sense. The tech mentioned he'd do a tps reset. I need to do some studying with the manual  . Lamar, wind was coming hard from the west. I was travelling north and south (I35 in MN between Mpls and Fairbault). (Message edited by niceguyeddy on May 10, 2009) | ||

Unless your clutch is slipping wind shouldnt matter... Gearing is not based on the force. Going into the wind your throttle may be held at a more open level to give more power to fight the wind but X RPM should still be Y speed regardless of wind, road condition, road slope etc... | ||

I bet you made better time going TO the shop. You should also see "better" mpg. I see you have an '08 so that makes perfect sense. Before the reflash on my '08 I rode across WI with my dad on his bagger, and my odometer always read about 10% fewer miles. | ||

The reflash corrected the out of cal speedo. Same thing happened to me last year. You have been going faster than what was indicated. | ||

Hmm, glad I didn't have the "My speedo said ---- officer" conversation. |
