Analog or digital speedo? I don't really care, I mostly watch my speed on my GPS...Agreed, I wouldn't mind the analog speedo if the numbers were'nt so ******* small. What sucks is there is so much ROOM on the dash for biggers numbers
Don't worry Pete, the cops are watching your speed too. The *******s....Analog or digital speedo? I don't really care, I mostly watch my speed on my GPS...
As a new FJR owner, can you tell me what the actual speed is when the speedometer says 60mph?Analog or digital speedo?

Gen III, 60MPH indicated is about 59MPH actual..seems to be about 1 mph until about 72mph indicated, then the gap increases by 2 mph... 82 indicated = 80 actualAs a new FJR owner, can you tell me what the actual speed is when the speedometer says 60mph?Analog or digital speedo?

Another positive vote from me as well. This is my first digital speedo, and I really like it.Digital speedos suck v. analog, IMHO.
I'll disagree. Digital speedos are the dog's danglies! However when it comes to a Tach, true analog is the only way to go.
I had both at the same time, TDM900 (digital) and FJR1300 (analogue) for a while and I initially favoured the analogue. However with advancing years and declining eyesight I came to favour the larger digital readout.Another positive vote from me as well.

Not so much. Gen II FJRs are known to have the most inaccurate speedometers. Close to 5mph off at 80mph.Thank you.Gen III, 60MPH indicated is about 59MPH actual..seems to be about 1 mph until about 72mph indicated, then the gap increases by 2 mph... 82 indicated = 80 actualAs a new FJR owner, can you tell me what the actual speed is when the speedometer says 60mph?Analog or digital speedo?

Mine's a 2012, but I'm thinking they are similar as far as pre-set accuracy. I understand the FJR's have the most accurate speedometers as far as motorcycles go...
My '06 was off only by 2~3 mph at 80 according to the GPS. Super Tenere speedo's are way worse at about 8+% error.Gen II FJRs are known to have the most inaccurate speedometers. Close to 5mph off at 80mph.

I bet you're both running different rear tires too. Different tire, different profile, different speedo reading.my '08 was off big time. about 5 mph at 75 mph.
Different makes/models of tires doesn't make a diddly squat difference in my experience over 350k miles. Barely even a noticeable difference from new to worn.My '06 was off only by 2~3 mph at 80 according to the GPS.

My SV changed from ~9% to ~5 or 5.5% generous when I got new tires. Same size, different brand.
One thing nice about the digital speedo is it's easier to read for the over 40 crowd.Digital speedos suck v. analog, IMHO.
I was actually stunned that it didn't have self-cancelling turn signals. My '78 Yamaha had them. My '86 Yamaha had them. It should be easier to implement with the electronics on this bike.
My 2002 Goldwing has self-cancelling turn signals, and my 1995 Voyager had them. Prior to 1990, my '86 FJ1200, '78 Yamaha 750, and '80 Yamaha 850 had them. There were many other bikes that had them, and I sure don't remember any problems. I've been in this game a long time and think if there were a lot of problems with them I'd have heard about at least one or two. I'm not saying there were none; I'm saying I don't believe problems were so pervasive the manufacturers just gave up. I suspect the attorneys had something to do with itI was actually stunned that it didn't have self-cancelling turn signals. My '78 Yamaha had them. My '86 Yamaha had them.

I haven't seen self cancelling turn signals on a Japanese bike since about 1990!
I heard one reason they stopped using them is that they didn't work that well.
I just figure you can turn the signal on, why is it so hard to turn it off?
