Have noticed this all along, but just beginning to wonder what if anything I can do about it. OEM speedo on my 2012 Magnum has a pretty significant error, almost 5mph when it says I'm going 45mph. In my favor, thank goodness, reads HIGHER than reality. But since speedo and tires are all factory issue, what if anything can I do about it? The way it is I'll probably never get a speeding ticket, but I might get flipped off a lot by other drivers.

Unfortunately this is the running theme with these machines,,,and it's not just the Chinese ,,,,my Stella (Indian)reads 3 or 4 mph optimistic as does my (Japanese)Suzuki dr,,,just part of the game ,,,I suppose you could chase down different gears for the speedo drive ,,or change to an electronic replacement unit over the winter ,,,they can be calibrated to read correct mph

Nah, not worth the trouble. Since it's in my favor, I'll just bear it in mind and grin widely at the radar cops as I zoom by.

Yea that's what I do as well,,,all my vehicles read optimistic ,,,it's kind of like a small insurance policy that doesn't cost anything and saves you dough because you don't get a ticket
