what bike is it? What i do is the rolling distance method. i use the valve stem a mark from point A to B. have it centered on the ground and mark the floor with sharpie, do a full turn until its back to center and mark again.. measure in inches the distance between the two marks. Then multiply to the value that is on the manual, (I forgot what it is). then thats the number u put on calibration. verify with gps if they are matching

Yea i kinda gave up on it..did that whole process you said a couple times..its a 2001 elite sr

where did u put the magnet? and is it reading speed and just off?

Magnet is on back rim..it reads speed fine to like 30 cruising,if i turn on the throttle hard it jumps all over

I read you sig.. that explains why you're having that issue.. you hit the throttle with that set up and vapor wont keep up with your speed..

yes that is so true! and people who have big bikes (normally hating on scoots) that never tried to ride a scoot will never ever understand!

Thanks! but I cant take credit.. it was an app I downloaded it's called Magisto and it does its own editing. I just basically uploaded my video, picked a theme, added some music (from a selection) and less than 5 mins, video was created. pretty cool app!

I like the videos, looks like a nice neighborhood!

Yes, it's a nice neighborhood but a guy with multiple scooters always terrorize it.. and I'm not gonna say who it is.

Ha I hear that, the people across the street told me when we take off from here it sounds like a drag strip.
