The odometer and the trip records more miles than actually travelled any ideas

How many more miles?

The speedometer from the factory has I believe a 10% overage (it shows you are travelling faster than you actually are. ie: when the speedo shows you at 50 mph, you are actually only travelling 45 mph).

I would think this overage would also carry to the odometer, as most are directly linked. That might explain a slight difference (up to 10%).

I could be wrong as I'm just throwing this out there from previous experience on other bikes and vehicles...
