I have been told that if I keep my speed under 80 mph. The police will not pay much attention to my speed.
I am originally from Michigan but now live in New York state.
So in my traveling from eastern Upstate New York to western Michigan my wife and I have driven several different vehicles.
And keep my speed around 78/79 mph while driving our current car or pickup and keep up with general traffic just fine. But with my Busa I seem to have to drive around 93/94 mph to keep up with the other cars.
I am running recommended size tires and stock sprockets.
I asked the Suzuki dealership about my speedometer. They say most motorcycles speedometers are set up to show you are driving faster than your actual speed. And this percentage increases the faster you ride. They said even though my speedo's says 0 to 180 mph, the top speed my Busa will achieve is only 150 mph. When I told them the fastest I've had my Busa was 130 mph. The tech told me I was really only going 113 mph.
I am waiting for a mount for my phone. So I can see my speed with my phone's GPS app. This is the only way I can figure compensate for my speedometer.
Hoping someone will chime in with some good information regarding this issue.
Thanks,
Jim
