If you messure the overall diameter of the 14" tyre and compare it to the diameter of the 18" tyre, you will find that they are very similar, it's possible that it will be out, but it won't be by much.
Tom

Hey I put 18's on my vl with 40 profile tyres, it came standard with 14's and 70 or 75 profiles. Could you tell me if you know if my speedo is out now and if it would be reading faster or slower? It seems to be fairly accurate which I thought was strange.

I would start with the driven gear and the speed sensor, check it out to see if it's worn. Also check the wiring especially near the firewall.

If that doesn't fix it try replacing the speed sensor.

If it's still playing up the speedo may need some attention.

Tom

On my mate El, the speedo keeps flickering.. Like it's very very wobbly, it'll tell u an accurate speed but just wobbles..

What causes this and how can it be rectified?

Cheers..

 

[speedotom]

Easy!!! I can do both anologue and digital.
Tom

How do you wind back the odemeter, if you know?

Are you using a custom guage face by any chance, if you are there is a possibility the background has warped (mine did) and is stopping the needle from moving. Mine warped near the temp guage stopping that from working.

 

[speedotom]

I can, but if you to have a go at it yourself, I'll try and step you through it.
Tom

My odometer has stopped working.... who fixes them...?

 

[speedotom]

I can supply any parts you need.
Tom

lol you should defect yourself on that :whistling

why not fix it yourself
ive done it on a VP & its easy as
theres a little cog that turns the numbers that breaks.
i think i saw on here somewhere that somebody is able to get the cogs

 

[speedotom]

Do you mean all the pins (which are labelled on the cluster) or the ones that go into the back of the speedometer and voltage regulator.

G'day amy,
Yes it can be repaired but the speedometer movement will have to be pulled apart. Inside there is a tiny well filled with dampning fluid, after a while the fluid crystalizes and goes hard. We remove the old dampning fluid and replace with some new improved fluid.
