    yea the calais books tells ya, lol

    Im sure I read it here too.....

    K, had a mix but generally 205x65x15's on when I got it, placard says should be 205x60x15 so we will go by that

    now running 215x60x16.... he is such a liar! lol my fault for not checking! shouldnt believe men.... tsk tsk *continues to mumble about men*

    K Im back! there was a thread about VN etc calais re-programming too, they are set to 625 from memory & you can change that.

    Does that change how the speedo needle reacts too? Becuase since I got my diff gears my speedo is like 30% out And im going shopping for a level 3 cluster next friday so it would kill two birds with one stone!

    But I decided cbf, dont know how long I will have 16's for, so wont bother resetting it.
