borrow a gps and get an accurate speed reading. if its like mine its a percentage out and not a fixed amount.
(4kph out at 60 but 8 kph out at 100). mine reads over so I was wondering why everyone was trying to kill me when I behaved.
seen adjusters in ads but haven't bothered.

have you changed your sprocket sizes?
if you spedo cable runs off the sprocket, not the wheel, it will read wrong :)
anyone can go fast in a straight line,,,,

if thats the case then u gotnothing for the speeding fine...

cos if u say u were doin 60 but ur speedo reads more that ur actual speed then u were doing "57" actually, now if the camera has booked u then either its wrong or u were mistaken...

and thats not to be offensive either adel... we all swear blind on things sometimes evern when we are wrong with no bad intentions at all...
