Have a Yamaha FX 1000 Waverunner - 2005 year. The speedometer doesn't read correctly. It reads too high. I should only be able to do 50 - 55 mph at best on this one. I reach 80 - 82 mph which is impossible. I changed the speed sensor thinking this was the issue. Unfortunately, the display still reads too high. Any other fixes?

I have that problem as well and so do others

SPEEDOMETER SETTLEMENT NOTICE

The court granted approval of the settlement and entered judgment on November 7, 2008. However, two separate appeals have been filed which seek to challenge the court's approval of the settlement. The settlement will not become effective unless and until all such challenges have been resolved and the judgment has been upheld.
Please check back to this site or call our toll-free number
(866) 514-0405 after January 19, 2009, to determine the status of the appeals and whether the settlement has become effective.

The problem may be the Electrical - Powertrain control - Vehicle speed sensor, which is easy to replace but why should you have to pay for it if that is the problem. A GMC mechanic inform me that water is he main cause for its failure.

There are others who have call a GMC Service Rep to have it fix, which i will try first.

2004 waverunner fx cruiser, ran great last time out. Now hard to start and wont run on high speed. Nothing over 6 mph.

How old is the fuel? Ethanol causes major problems if left too long. You may need to empty the fuel and clean out the fuel system. Try changing the fuel filter and adding some seafoam to the fuel and running seafoam thru the fuel system. Hopoe this helps.

Waverunner is abnormally slow accelerating initially, but will finally get up to normal speed

Pull your air filter out and also replace plugs. Overtime the filter will become saturated with oil and believe it or not the plugs can cause about a 10 mph drop if there going bad. But make sure your pump and impeller are not damaged also

My friends 2009 Honda CBR 1000 shows about 8mph less than my 2010 Yamaha Majesty. Are there know issues with the Majesty? Could there be something wrong with my bike's speedometer? I just bought it 2...

Sometimes there is some variance between identical new motorcycles. I had friend claim that his BMW speedometer was accurate and my Honda was off by 5 mph. We had the same brand(Dunlop) and size of tire. I changed my tire, same brand(Dunlop), same size, different "style" and now both speedometers read the same speed . This tire was the same number size but mounted stood taller than the old tire. What my friend failed to realize was that his cycle came stock with a Metzeler so he was not reading accurately either. So do not dismay, your friend may not have the correct height tire on his bike. You will have to make some speed runs past on of those signs that tell you how fast you are going and see how accurate your machine is. My 2009 Suzuki DR200 reads 2 MPH slow by the police speed signs.

My speedometer is off by almost 10 mph. How do i fix this?

HI YOU COULD TRY CHECKING THE GEAR RATIO, AS THE SPEEDO DRIVE IS FITTED TO THE FRONT SPROCKET, ANY CHANGE IN THE MACHINES GEARING IE SMALLER OR LARGER SPROCKETS WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE MACHINES SPEEDOMITER READING, AS WILL A CHANGE IN TYRE SIZE
