WOW!!! MY FIRST SCOOTER.....

Post by Blackbeard1718 »

..... out of Nine..... that the Speedometer was actually CORRECT!!!

I took a 2hr Ride yesterday with my GPS, and wanted to see how much the Speeds varied between the GPS and the Forza. The Forza was Dead-On with the GPS, up to 50mph. I haven't ridden any faster than that yet. Still in the Break-In Period, for both the Forza and myself!

Around town, the Speed Limits are 30, 35, 40, 45 & 50. Each one of those Speeds I hit yesterday, the GPS was 100% Matched with what I had on the Speedometer. AMAZING!

All of my other Scoots before the Forza, also had to be checked with a GPS, to verify how Fast I was really going, so I wouldn't get a Ticket around here. The Speed differences varied from Faster to Slower. My former Big Ruckus, for example, was off by exactly 5mph. I'd have to do 50, to actually be doing 45.

I took my Forza to the Dealer today, to have the BACKOFF Brake Light installed, and my Wife (Ride Home.....) was following me in her car on the way there. She verified my Speeds with her Speedometer.

Cheers!

I thought the PCX speedo was slightly low compared to actual speed - not checked just assumed that as many speedo's are purposely under-rated so people do not break the speed limit with the speedo reading a speed but they are going a few mph's faster (yes, people have been done for going slightly over - depends on the police and magistrates). Also, some have checked against a GPs device and reported the speedo was reading low.

Yep, my gps matches up with the speedo on my forza accurately also. Some people have complained that the speedo is off, but according to my gps it is right on at speeds up to 70 mph.
