Not sure if this is an issue but I will be getting the chain drive swingarm. When changing ratios won't that cause the stock speedo to read wrong?

I'm considering getting the Starlane ATHON GPS "Type R" Lap Timer w/ Track Mapping for my 1125 track bike and then removing the stock instrument. I've talked to a pro racer that uses this and read a lot of posts about it. The price is steep, $765 from Hard Racing. But I'm thinking about all the benefits and the Starlane would fix any speedo error problems.

Yeah, changing the sprockets and alter your speedo reading. Either more correct or off more, just depending upon what you're using and what it is stock.

The Starlane is a good system. I haven't used mine without the stock tach. For a Speedo though? Why do you need it?

And I don't know if the speed reading is very big. I'm just looking for a lap time, and I use the shift lighting as a little aid also.

Good point, don't need a speedo. I can see I need to get one and start using it. It would be nice to eliminate the stock gauges but not if the stock tach is still used.

Hey Doug,

If you are seriously interested in an electronic tach/speedo/lap timer from Starlane or Xenon, give me a call. I don't keep them in stock, but can get either for you quickly and for less than the price you posted above.

Pete

Pete, well aren't you the best. It won't be long, tax returns will be here and then I will get it. Talk to you soon.
