Time For A Gearing Change ?

[fixitsan]

Mine's non-abs so any gearing change is going to affect the speedo reading. I'm guessing that standard speedo error is that it reads fast and if my thinking is correct then dropping a tooth on the front sprocket will make the speedo read even faster . I suppose this might affect my insurance if I have an accident but I would also want to know how fast I am going so for these reasons I am going to stick to standard gearing.

 

 

I don't think it would affect insurance unless it over reads by more than the 10% the construction and use regulations allows for those earlier years. They've tightened up on it with later vehicles but I don't know the year off the top of my head. The regs state that a speedo must never under read. Also, the speedo is not an MOT item !
