V2K Problem, unexpected speed loss

*trikebubble* · 03-08-2007

I rode my bike for the first time today, and have noticed a real problem.
It is fine up to 40km/hr, then it will drop off severely, then all of a sudden climb back up to 80km/hr and go up from there.

Any thoughts?
(Maybe a hint will help. Look closely at my new speedo faceplate)

I'm such a twit sometimes. I just noticed that this morning. I've actually posted pictures of my new faceplate here and no-one noticed.

It certainly gave me a good chuckle.

Yeah....I thought it was supposed to go up then down, then back up.

May as well move all the numbers around since you'll run wide open anyway.

Must be an exchange rate thing

That's got to be a head snapper.

*bikeaholic* · 03-08-2007

*jukief* · 03-08-2007

I think your speedometer is infested with demons. You'll need to call a priest and have an exorcism performed immediately.

I'll wait until the headlight starts rotating, green stuff pukes out the exhaust,
and the bike starts screaming "**** me Jesus"

Then i'll just ride the demons out of it. Well, i'm gonna ride the demons out of it anyways.
