26" tires on factory wheels?

[Peair]

All the above + your tilt table number takes a dive if you don’t go wider.

My wording may have been poor. How can you make your speedometer and odometer accurate with oversize tires?

Not sure if the 500/520 is the same but on the Talon and P1K - speedoDRD makes a small electronic gizmo that corrects for tire size and gearing changes.

Anyone else know if the DRD will work on the 500/520?

Also wondering why u want to fix the speedo? If your using it on the farm or trail, dosnt really matter if your 1-3 mph off

The speedometer is affected but could be no big deal. Are they even accurate anyway?
The odometer is different. It adds miles to the total that over time give the impression that the machine has more wear and tear on it.

To be honest, its not enough on these rigs the way we use them that ive ever heard or seen anyone making a fuss or giving a hoot even dealers. If they are there not saying anything. Frankly, your only one ive heard being concerned. On an automobile, maybe

I'll keep that in mind.

Most everyone that's done a speed check with stock tires and then with 26's said that it was more accurate with the 26's.

Larger tires would lower the speedo/odo reading, so it would be in your favor as the seller if that’s all you’re worried about.

Lowers the speed indicated but increases the odometer reading to the detriment of the seller.

If it lowers the indicated speed, how can it not lower the odo reading - the speedo is simply magnetically driven off of the odometer gearing - thereby lower speedo numbers will also equal lower odo numbers.

With stock tires the speedo will be off a good bit. When I went to 27s it read a lot closer to what my GPS shows. And welcome to the club from East Tennessee.

I would agree, the speedo is not that far off. at an indicated 39mph on the speedo, your P500/520 would be going at most 1mph faster with 26" tires. I have 27" tires and at best mine is off by 2-3mph at full speed. Anything lower than top speed is easily figured if you just round a bit.

Lets say you find your indicated top speed is 39 and if you were off by 2mph, just half both numbers and you would find at 20mph indicated on the speedo, you would be off by 1mph.

This is not enough to cause you any problems.

Good example. My Talon’s odo on 30’s (stock 28’s) measures 3-4 miles lower, per 100 miles, than the GPS. I can’t be more accurate because it never mattered to me so I haven’t figured the exact disparity, but the odo is always lower than the GPS.

You made me figure it out, roughly - I just turned 9,000 miles + 3% = 9,270. Plus 4% = 9,360.
