Time For A Gearing Change ?

[fruitcake]

 A couple of questions - someone said the speedo  error wouldn't affect the ABS models - why is this?

 

 

Because on ABS bikes the speed is taken from the ABS sensor, which is on the wheels and so unaffected by gearing changes, since the gearing will be changed before the final reading (if that makes sense).  Only a change in wheel size would make a difference to that speed reading.

 

Normally they take the speed off the output shaft from the gearbox, which means any final gearing changes are after the speed is taken and therefore will mis-read,
