Unfortunately, that no worky for a Super Ten. Digital speedo. Only the tach is analog.markjenn said:

I will use my SpeedoDRD, programmable and connects to the wire that goes from ABS to dash for speed. Blue wire. An inmate in Australia has already done it. Bargenator, Post #25 in this thread.

Good tip on the speedoDRD! Too bad it's not going to be a simple plug in like they are on my previous bikes and most bikes. No big deal. I'm not skeeeered of a couple wires, solder, and shrink tubing. I'll wait to order it until I see how many percent my bike is off. If it's within a few percent, I probably won't bother. If its 5 - 10% high, it will probably bug me enough to do it as money allows....other goodies will be higher on the list!
On an bike with traction control and ABS, I'd be very nervous about mucking about with any wheel speed sensor data, but perhaps these systems are completely based on relative rather than absolute speeds and it would work fine. I'd proceed cautiously.

It is the same on the MTS, you cut the wire from ABS to Dash, doesn't bother anything, just a speed read out. The ABS has already done its part.
But like Chadx said, I would prefer that with such a high tech bike, why don't they just make it accurate in the first place, especially on the MTS as we are not going to put knobbies on to mess it up.
P.S. I'm sure they will figure out a way to plug it in if possible in the future, but not there yet. I do not have ABS on the MULTI and never could run down the wire to splice. I found the blue one at the dash (same as the S10) but could not find where that comes from since the wiring is bundled and the wiring diagram only shows coming from ABS module. Probably will sell the Multi after the S10 gets here, so I will live with it stock.

hello!!!i would like to ask you something:the maximum speed that you succeed with the st1200 was with the standard windscreen or with the higher one of the yamaha!and if you succeed that with the standard do you know wich the maximum speed and the air protection with the higher windscreen!thank you in advance.
i am waiting for your answer!!!!

It's the regulations. The manufacturers have to go by a formula to make sure that the speedo is going to be guaranteed to be reading above the actual speed by a given percentage given manufacturing tolerances over the range from 20km/h to 160, from memory. They have to guarantee that every speedo leaving the factory reads over on the standard specification bike. SOme countries are less strict and some are more so. That is why a digital readout and the ODO meter are pretty accurate while the speedo is often not. Different regs apply to each.Tiger_one said:

I've heard this as well, but it still amazes me that cars can be within the law and are typically only off a % or two, and yet motorcycles are off 5-8%. Does make you wonder......GrahamD said:
Not my experience - cars seem off by the ~5% too.colorider said:

Interesting. My present cages (Honda Pilot and Ford Mustang) are both within 1 or 2%. My FJR is off at least 5% - probably closer to 6 or 7. My previous KLR was even worse. Has several V-Stroms and they were all terrible for accuracy.markjenn said:

I cannot answer your question...but, it would appear you are considering the large Yamaha screen. Do not bother, it is only slightly bigger and that is only where it is wider at the top. It is the same height and leans back more. It is a waste of money, get one from another supplier. I cannot advise which as mine is the large Yamaha one and it is rubbish.greek said:

I would suggest CalSci as one of the better aftermarket screens.Old Git Ray said:
I am not as negative about OEM touring screen. For me it has worked out really well. Big reduction in buffeting and more wind protection. I am about 5'10". The smooth air flow strikes the top of my helmet and creates a really good suction of air through my helmet meaning I can ride with my visor fully closed in cold weather without fogging up. I'm pretty sure that it is about 1-1.5" or so taller than standard screen.Old Git Ray said:
To answer the previous question I topped out at 203km/h with touring screen, wind deflectors and OEM panniers.
Mine did 226 km/h on the dash last monday. Have a WASP mounting bracket and an MRA tourscreen (almost vertically).
Have Arrows headers, Akra exhaust, PC V with O2 optimizer, AutoTune and K&N installed. It is lightning fast!
The bike will do 216 km/h quite easily no matter what the conditions, 226 was with some backwind. ::26::
p.s. this was without panniers.

About a week ago I took the panniers off the bike and managed to reach 208-209km/h on the dash. 100% stock setup. Funnily enough have not tested top speed since my previous post above. Don't get that many opportunities.
Yeah, the way the torque curve is on this bike, I wouldn't expect anything wildly different for a top speed, although I'm sure Blue eye's setup will consistently get that 216 wheras the stock setup would need a hill and some wind ::025:: I still need to get this thing on the Tohoku expressway to get my baseline. ::26::RMac said:

My max speed to date is 225km/h on the dash ( 204 km/h on GPS ) and i have a slip-on pipe and a Touratech mounting bracket with an MRA tourscreen (almost vertically and on the highest setting) and wind deflectors. BTW, my brother have a BMW GSA and his top speed is 2 km/h faster than my ST
That's strange. I have a Zumo 660 GPS and when I do 216 km/h op the dash, the Zumo 660 shows 208 km/h...Buffel said:
