Yamaha speedometer accuracy.

Ya probably right then, I mean the speed difference sounds correct. And they are fast so it's probably right.

I think pretty much under a 100 mph they are real close but once you get over a 100 mph they start being a little less accurate. Still close but off by 4-10 mph depending on speed. My friends 800 ski doo says he is going 125+ mph. And he totally believed it. And I told him no way was it that fast. Well he argued and argued until we found a good stretch and I put my phone in his pocket and he took off. Well he came back saying 125 mph then he looked and my phone said 102mph. So he was pissed and didn't believe my phone and still claims his stock 800 power tec sled does 125. Lol... I told him he is crazy. I could beat him with my Nytro and he drove my Nytro and it said 114 on the speedo and he still says his can do 125. Lmao it makes me laugh just writing this.
The best my none e-tech 800xp 08 ever did on bare ice was 113 gps on 120 speedo,and on a hard snow trail 108 gps 114 speedo,so a little more slip on bare ice,heck even my 13 turbo w/a more accurate speedo than any of my yamaha's ever had after 100 is off 6 mph,and i run to gps's just to back one another up and have run them side by side with hand held police radar,always read same as radar.
 
Ya I know his won't go that fast it's just what he thinks. And ya mine was pretty close. But never had the speedo and a hand held gps just my phone. So I'm sure a hand held might be more accurate.
 
Maybe with speedo done in the US they got the math right. My 04 Viper ran 170 Kph = 106.25 MPH (very accurate). Switch to MPH do the same run 112 MPH (Dream meter).
My NYTRO is with in 1% in Kph, never tried in MPH.
 
Supposibly the 4stroke skidoo does 118 mph according to a skidoo guy I was talking to I'd like to know how accurate there speedos are.he was laughing when I told him my top speed I wasn't impressed
 
Tell him to meet you on the lake. Theses 12oo don't goes over 105mph here. Side by side with L-TX Viper.
 
I wondered I have clutching exhaust and header and not seeing 100
