    Detomaso Pantera Speedo Reading WAY out

    Have a detomaso pantera and the speedo reads about 30-40 KPH above what its doing, if a tooth came off the cable or somewhere else i thought it would read lower??
    Goto get it fixed its driving me nuts.

    a tooth wouldn't do that, but if someone changed the final drive in the transaxle (if it is possible), then it would do it. Either that or your tyres are way different from factory sizing.

    Tyre size is standard as are the rims
    Transaxles ratios are also standard
    Any other suggestions??

    If its not the final drive ratio then the speedo drive pinion may have the incorrect number of teeth, assuming thats a viable with your trans. Next to look at is the speedo itself.

    Tyre size could never make so much difference

    Take speedo for recalibration at a instrument dude?
    "Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."
