Re: Smiths Speedo Recalibration

Have you got the 90 or 120?

Sorry no concept of your test.... Speedo isn't tested over here.

From what you say the 120 maybe a problem.

Good luck and Happy Christmas

Keep us updated

Stick a small GPS speedo on somewhere?

Re: vespa polini box exhaust jetting

You've probably answered your own question No experience of the polini box but Ive read it is greedy... Go 125.
Ive just gone from a SIP R2 to 3 and went up from 122 to 125 on a moderately tuned P2. But not used it in anger yet. Early run out and it seemed happy on the 125
